“CONFUSION IN LAGOS MARKET AFTER SHOCKING DISCOVERY — TRADERS IN PANIC”Amid the ongoing peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States (US) President Donald Trump on Saturday said the war would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and placed tariffs of 50% to 100% on China for its purchases of Russian petroleum.
President Trump, who spoke via his Truth social media platform, said NATO’s commitment to winning the war has been far less than 100% and the purchase of Russian oil by some members of the alliance is shocking.
Trump also raised the prospect of NATO imposing tariffs on China, which is believed to have boosted strategic cooperation with Moscow and held a high-profile summit with Putin recently in Beijing.
“I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA.
“I believe that (NATO sanctions on Russia), plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” Trump said.
Trump’s statement follows the Wednesday flight of multiple Russian drones into Poland, an escalatory move by Russia as it was entering the airspace of a NATO ally.
Poland shot down the drones, yet Trump played down the severity of the incursion and Russia’s motives by saying it “could have been a mistake.”“CONFUSION IN LAGOS MARKET AFTER SHOCKING DISCOVERY — TRADERS IN PANIC”
