Trump ready to slap ‘Ukrainian victory tariff’ on China if Europe follows suit, treasury secretary says
The Trump administration proposed on Oct. 15 to fund Ukraine through new tariffs on China, provided that European allies impose similar measures.
“President (Donald) Trump has instructed the ambassador and myself to tell our European allies that we would be in favor of whether you would call it a ‘Russian oil tariff’ on China or a ‘Ukrainian victory tariff’ on China,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told journalists in Washington.
“But our Ukrainian or European allies have to be willing to follow.”
