US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington is prepared to roll out additional sanctions against Russia. When asked about a “second phase” of measures, he replied, “I am ready.”
The proposed sanctions could also target nations that continue to buy Russian oil, including India and China. Reports suggest that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen supports extending penalties to such countries as part of broader efforts to cut Russia’s energy revenues.
These developments come amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, with the US aiming to weaken Moscow’s financial strength through energy restrictions. Analysts warn that fresh sanctions may disrupt global trade flows and drive up energy costs, creating challenges for economies still reliant on Russian oil.
The move highlights Washington’s determination to intensify pressure on Russia, while also signaling possible strains in relations with key partners like India and China.
