Republicans are considering introducing a tough sanctions bill for any country that does business with Russia
The authors note that the said bill will allow the US president to impose tariffs of up to 500% on imports from countries that buy Russian energy carriers and do not actively support Ukraine. In particular, this applies to major consumers of Russian oil, such as China and India.
We can add Iran to this
The media summarizes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin currently shows no signs of easing his military campaign after almost four years of war in Ukraine, and Trump has so far failed to influence the Kremlin leader even after he hosted the Russian leader in Alaska.
