US President Donald Trump has suggested setting 200% customs duties on imports from Russia and Ukraine as a possible way to force both sides to reach a peace agreement. However, he has voiced scepticism for the effectiveness of this move, arguing that low trade volume with both countries could make economic pressure less useful.
Speaking during an election rally in Florida, Trump claimed his administration had helped end international conflicts through threats with commercial penalties. However, he questioned whether the same strategy could affect the war between Moscow and Kiev.
We ended five wars because of tariffs. I said: If you keep fighting, we’ll charge you 200%, and they stop. We must do it with Ukraine and Russia immediately. I never thought about it. But we don’t buy enough of them, so it doesn’t work, Trump said.
The US president’s statements come at a time when debate continues on ways in which Washington can use economic pressure to influence the outcome of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
