Trump has faced frustration over his inability to halt the ongoing war in Ukraine, after initially predicting he could end it quickly upon taking office in January. Last month, his administration imposed punitive tariffs on India\u2019s U.S.-bound exports, citing India\u2019s continued purchases of Russian oil. Trump argued these tariffs had already cost Russia \u201chundreds of billions of dollars\u201d and defended his record of action. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added that Washington and the European Union could escalate by placing \u201csecondary tariffs\u201d on countries that still buy Russian energy, which would deepen economic pressure and potentially force President Vladimir Putin to negotiate. The report highlights Trump\u2019s struggle to balance bold rhetoric with effective measures in addressing both the Ukraine war and Russia\u2019s global oil trade.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the U.S. gov will likely target more nations that keep buying Russian oil, even if it takes away their partnerships with said countries, like what happened to India. The EU may align with the same idea even if they also still need oil. Russia will probably move more towards the Western areas for oil consumption, like China. India will probably push back because of the U.S. pressure. Global energy markets could experience new pushes for buyers and sellers into new and unstable arrangements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/trump-ready-phase-two-russia-sanctions-over-ukraine-conflict-2025-09-07\/#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20Sept%207%20(Reuters),U.S.%2Dbound%20exports%20last%20month On September 7, 2025, reporters at the White House asked President Trump whether he was prepared to move into a \u201csecond phase\u201d of sanctions against Russia, to which he replied, \u201cYeah, I am,\u201d without elaborating further.
