The White House commented on the secondary sanctions of the US against Russia.

If Russia does not agree to ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days, the US will impose very high tariffs and secondary sanctions against the aggressor country. In addition, tariffs will be imposed against states buying oil from Russia, which will create additional impact on the Russian economy.

Sanctions against Russia — what they say in the White House

This was stated during a press briefing in Washington by White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt.

Caroline Levitt noted that President Trump 'really wants the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine to end with a diplomatic solution.' The spokesperson noted that the current US administration has spent a lot of Time to make this happen.

'The president wants to stop the killings, and he wants to save lives', Levitt remarked.

After this, the spokesperson was asked how tariffs against Russia would impact it, considering that the trade turnover with it in 2024 was only 3 billion dollars and President Trump himself stated that tariffs against Russia are not worth considering.

In response, Levitt noted: 'Three billion dollars — that's still a lot of money, and it's not just about tariffs. It's also about the secondary sanctions that will be imposed in 50 days'.

It is worth recalling that recently

Donald Trump stated that if agreements on peace are not reached within 50 days

, the US will continue to impose sanctions and tariffs against Russia.

Earlier, the US State Department stated that

Trump will approach the implementation

of ending the war of Russia against Ukraine 'aggressively'.

During the press briefing at the White House, spokesperson Caroline Levitt stated that the US is ready to impose high tariffs and secondary sanctions against Russia if it does not agree to ceasefire in Ukraine within the next 50 days.
