US EditionMedvedev Shrugs Off Trump's 'Theatrical Ultimatum'
RUSSIA, JUL 15 – Russia dismisses U.S. threats of 100% tariffs and secondary sanctions on export buyers as a "theatrical ultimatum," with China and India as major purchasers of Russian oil.
- On July 14, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed additional military aid for Ukraine and warned that buyers of Russian goods could face a 100% secondary tariff if no peace agreement is reached within 50 days.
- Trump issued this ultimatum to pressure Russia to end the war, while Russia and its officials rejected the threats as theatrical and unacceptable.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Trump's statements serious but said Russia needs time to analyze them, noting that Putin will comment when appropriate.
- Trump said, "We can do secondary," referring to sanctions, while Putin stated he is ready for peace but only on his terms and refuses ceasefire talks until peace details are defined.
- Russia's dismissal of the ultimatum and ongoing hostilities imply continued conflict, with U.S. arms supplies and political sanctions likely to persist amid stalled negotiations.
