500% Tariff on Russian Goods: U.S. Senate Takes Tough Action! - UATV English



A new bill introduced in the U.S. Senate proposes heavy sanctions on Russia, including a 500% tariff on Russian oil, gas, and uranium, if Moscow continues to delay peace talks. With bipartisan support, the bill aims to pressure Russia into negotiating a ceasefire and ending its aggressive war against Ukraine. Will this strategy force Putin’s hand or lead to further escalation?

Also in the video is a recap for you: Russia demands sanctions relief, but the EU isn’t backing down! European leaders have rejected Moscow’s ultimatums and are preparing a 17th sanctions package targeting Russia’s shadow economy, financial institutions, and propaganda networks.

Unfortunately the chances of this set of tariffs coming to fruition are zero since Trump would veto any bill that would harm his buddy Pootie.
