Recently, Trump threat to Russia to stop the war (Ukraine-Russia) with in 50 days. Trump threatened them that if they cannot reach an agreement to stop the war within this period, then 100% tariffs will be imposed on their products. The important thing now is how much this tariff will affect Russia. We know that since the war started, Russia has been restricted in various ways and there are also bans on the export of several of their products. If again 100% tariff is imposed on this country, will it have any effect on stopping the war?
Russia has successfully diversified its trade partnerships. Since the invasion of Ukraine, the US and some European nations have placed several sanctions on Russia. There was a time it was predicted that the Russian economy might collapse in less than one year of fighting due to the sanctions placed on them.
But Putin has successfully sought different trading partners who buy Russian oil and gas at a discounted price. Some countries are also helping them bypass these sanctions by serving as middlemen between Russia and other nations. To the best of my knowledge, US tariffs might not harm the Russian economy to the extent that Putin will plead for a ceasefire.
