About This Video

President Trump threatens "devastating" tariffs on Russia by August 8 to force a ceasefire, warning of severe economic repercussions for nations trading with Moscow. Will this strategy halt the conflict?

US President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose "devastating" tariffs and sanctions on Russia by August 8 unless a ceasefire is achieved in the ongoing conflict. The US Ambassador to NATO emphasized that these measures aim to cripple Russia’s economy and its ability to sustain military operations.

Key Details

Trump's proposed sanctions target Russia's oil sales, which are currently being conducted with countries like China, India, and Brazil. The Ambassador warned that these nations will face significant repercussions for engaging in trade with Russia, further isolating the country on the global stage.

Impact

The potential sanctions could severely limit Russia’s financial resources, hindering its military efforts. Experts suggest that the lack of trade partners will drastically reduce Russia's capacity to fund its ongoing military campaigns, significantly altering the geopolitical landscape.
