Donald Trump threatens 100% secondary tariffs on Russia
Financial TimesMonday, July 14, 2025 at 3:56:12 PM
Donald Trump is floating the idea of slapping 100% tariffs on Russian goods if he wins the presidency again—a dramatic escalation meant to force Moscow to the negotiating table over Ukraine. It’s a hardball move, signaling he’d take a far tougher economic stance than the current sanctions regime.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about trade—it’s a glimpse into how Trump might handle the Ukraine war if he returns to power. While tariffs could ratchet up pressure on Russia, they also risk inflaming tensions further or even backfiring on global markets. Either way, it’s a stark reminder that the U.S. election could reshape the conflict’s trajectory.
