EU won't discuss new Russia sanctions package on Wed, no new date set
- The European Union has postponed the planned introduction of its nineteenth round of sanctions targeting Russia, which had been anticipated to occur on September 17, 2025, with no new date announced.
- The delay happened as U.S. President Donald Trump increased demands for NATO countries to cease purchasing Russian oil and pushed the European Union to levy tariffs on China and India.
- The 19th sanctions package, expected to target Russian banks and the covert "shadow fleet," has been postponed indefinitely, with EU member states notified of the hold-up on Monday afternoon and no new timeline announced.
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on September 15 that the Trump administration would hold off on levying new tariffs on Chinese imports aimed at curbing China's Russian oil purchases unless European nations first implemented similar punitive tariffs against China and India, suggesting NATO members consider imposing duties ranging from 50% to 100%.
- The postponement suggests ongoing EU debate over sanctions severity, reflecting reluctance to disrupt energy imports before the planned 2028 phase-out and division among member states on measures.
