Trump calls on all NATO countries to stop buying Russian oil, threatens 50% to 100% tariffs on China
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump stated that the Russia-Ukraine war would end if all NATO countries stopped buying Russian oil and imposed 50% to 100% tariffs on China for its Russian petroleum purchases. Trump criticized some NATO members, like Turkey, Hungary, and Slovakia, for continuing to buy Russian oil, weakening NATO’s position. He downplayed recent Russian drone incursions into Poland, calling them possibly accidental.
