Trump puts forward new conditions for sanctions against Russia: why they are unattainable.
Trump announces possible new sanctions against Russia
According to inkorr.com: U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose new sanctions on Russia, but only if all NATO members support this decision. He also urged countries to stop purchasing Russian oil and increase tariffs on Chinese goods.
However, according to The New York Times, this condition is nearly unattainable, and even Trump's advisors acknowledge that the president himself understands this.
This is not the first time Trump has made such demands, delaying the decision-making regarding sanctions against Russia. This time, he noted: 'I am ready for major sanctions against Russia when all NATO countries agree and join, and when they all stop buying oil from Russia.'
The difficulty of fulfilling Trump's conditions
The president's requirement for sanctions against Russia is extremely difficult to fulfill. Some European states, notably Hungary and Turkey, continue to purchase Russian oil due to their personal connections. Other countries have also reduced their purchases, but cannot completely refrain from Russian supplies. This complicates the possibility of imposing new U.S. sanctions against Moscow.
The government in Washington acknowledges that the likelihood of fulfilling this condition is very low. This allows Trump to avoid concrete actions against Russia while maintaining a tough rhetoric in the public sphere.
Thus, U.S. President Donald Trump has put forward conditions for the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, but their implementation is practically impossible due to various foreign economic factors existing in international relations. This situation allows Trump to maintain a tough stance without taking direct actions against the Kremlin.
