US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has asked the EU to join the duties against Russia announced by Donald Trump. He stated this in an interview on CNBC.

"I urge our European allies, who have previously loudly stated their intentions, to follow us if we introduce these secondary tariffs," Bessent urged.

The official stressed that US President Donald Trump has changed his position regarding duties against Russia, considering them the main tool in achieving peace in Ukraine.

  • It was previously reported that the United States plans to install 100- interest duties on goods from Russia, as well as to impose secondary sanctions on countries that continue economic cooperation with the Russian Federation if a ceasefire agreement between Moscow and Kiev is not reached within 50 days.
