Trump Threatens Severe Tariffs on Russia as Senate Sanctions Bill Gains Momentum | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Donald Trump is increasing pressure on Russia, threatening “severe” tariffs unless Moscow agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days. The move is being welcomed by lawmakers from both parties who are pushing their own sanctions bill. They believe the combination of Trump’s threat and their broader legislation will pay dividends. The proposed bill has strong momentum, with 85 Senate co-sponsors. It would authorize sweeping secondary tariffs — of at least 500% — on imported goods from countries that use Russian oil and goods, including China, Brazil, and India.
