Trump can end the war in Ukraine with secondary sanctions
He added that Donald Trump could "end the war in Ukraine by the end of this year." According to the adviser, "the threat of secondary sanctions for buyers of Russian oil and gas will force China and India to support peace agreements to avoid a trade war."
Only economic problems can force Putin to admit that continuing this war is too costly for him
Addition
As most of Russia's trade deals in Europe have been curtailed due to sanctions since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Moscow relies heavily on trade with China, which buys 47% of Russian oil exports, and India, which buys 38%. China also accounts for 44% of coal exports, and India for 19%.
Earlier, UNN wrote that the President of the United States of America "is very unhappy" with Russia and announced very strict tariffs if there is no ceasefire agreement with Ukraine within 50 days.
Later, Trump's spokeswoman stated that he is optimistic about diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine, but "is a realist, which he has already demonstrated with the example of Iran."
