Trump is preparing massive sanctions against Russia to end the war – Bloomberg

President-elect Donald Trump's advisers are developing a sanctions strategy to reach an agreement between Russia and Ukraine in the coming months.

This is reported by Bloomberg.

As is known, the administration of current US President Joe Biden has imposed significant sanctions on the trade in Russian oil. This move has left open the question of how Trump views these measures, given his commitment to a quick end to the war in Ukraine.

According to Bloomberg, the Trump team is considering two main approaches. The first, if the new administration believes the end of the war is near, includes some measures in favor of sanctioned Russian oil producers that could help broker a peace deal. The second option would rely on sanctions, further increasing pressure for more leverage.

The Trump team's plans are in the early stages and depend on the president himself. The strategy discussion involves some of Trump's cabinet nominees, as well as former sanctions officials in his first administration. Several conservative think tanks are also being polled.

For the Trump team, a more aggressive Russia policy could lead to tougher enforcement of secondary sanctions on oil trade, punishing both European shippers and Asian buyers, including major companies in China and India, Bloomberg sources said. Another possible approach: pushing for tougher interventions in the passage of tankers carrying Russian oil through the vital Danish and Turkish straits.
