China, India, Slovakia
If Washington actually burdened with additional duties of goods from all states that buy Russian oil, it would have to impose them first of all on China, India and Turkey. It results from the data of the Finnish organization Energy and Clean Air Research Center (Crea).
The European Union as a whole was ranked fourth in data, among its Member States as consumers of Russian oil, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which still have a European exception to the use of the Druzhba pipeline, are still standing.
« If Russia and I cannot reach an agreement to stop bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it is Russia’s fault, I will decorate secondary duties on all oil that comes from Russia, » Reuters quotes Trump, noting that new duties could introduce in a month. According to the agency, the President added that despite disappointment they « make progress ».
« If these duties were forced by India and China to stop buying Russian oil, they would certainly be effective in exerting pressure. Nevertheless, I am not sure if they will have enough effect. Neither China nor India would look like they are undergoing US pressure, » He pointed out by Newsweek Leonard Alan Winters, professor of economics from the University of Sussex.
He adds that the West, including the US, is trying to get better relations with India, and Trump could retreat. China is ready for duties ready for the US trade war and wants to enter it in a strong position.
Neither China nor India joined anti -Russian sanctions. However, as the British noted Diary GuardianChina is cautious about the sanctions and keeps some of them not to harm the business relationships with Washington.
According to Reuters, Trump should make calls with Putin this week.
US officials have reported two different equivalent of partial ceasefires in negotiations with Ukraine. First, the thirty -day general stop of fire, later a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea. In both cases, Ukraine agreed, but Russia has placed a series of conditions. Similarly, efforts to introduce a selective stopping of fire for energy infrastructure were similar.
Russian media criticize Trump
Although the Kremlin spokesman left the door open by further negotiations, the Russian media changed the tone against Trump, the British journalist Steve Rosenberg, Moscow correspondent BBC, pointed out in the video.
« Donald Trump has not yet fulfilled the obligations he took on himself to stop the Ukrainian attacks on energy infrastructure, » he quotes from Moscow Komsomolec. « It seems that Trump’s level agreements are worth a few pennies in the marketplace, » wrote a newspaper about the American Lier, who has so far been benevolent to Moscow.
He describes Trump as a boss who does not succeed, especially to his « vassal » as the diary calls Ukraine.
Such criticism of Trump is rare in the Russian media, Rosenberg notes. It also points out that there were reports in the Russian media that Moscow and Washington began to talk about the use of Russian mineral raw materials, namely the metals of rare earths.
Mineral Agreement is not
Meanwhile, both Russia and Ukraine attacked each other, hitting electrical wiring.
The agreement between the United States and Ukraine on the use of Ukrainian mineral deposits is still not concluded and its last version is still less beneficial for Ukraine than the previous ones.
Ukraine is constantly trying to ensure the continuation of US military aid until Donald Trump decided to help provided for the era of its predecessor Joea Biden to be considered a debt it requires repayment from Ukraine.
According to Guardian, the Russian daily Izvestia reported that in the next round of negotiations between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia, both parties could also discuss US use of Russian metals of rare soils.
« The metals of rare earths are an important subject of cooperation and, of course, we have begun to discuss various metals and projects in Russia, » said Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian National Wealth Fund. He also participates in negotiations in Saudi Arabia. The details are not yet known.
