U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged EU officials to impose tariffs of up to 100% on China and India as part of efforts to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a U.S. official and an EU diplomat. Trump argued the move would target two of Russia’s biggest oil buyers, which have been crucial in sustaining Moscow’s economy since its expanded invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The request, delivered via conference call, was made to EU sanctions envoy David O’Sullivan and other European officials currently in Washington for talks on sanctions coordination. Trump also said he looked forward to speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the coming weeks, expressing confidence that the two sides could successfully conclude a trade agreement.
