Threat of secondary sanctions against Russia "is on" if Alaska talks fall through, European official says
From CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh
A European official said they got the impression the “threat is on” of secondary sanctions against Russia if the upcoming Alaska talks between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin prove fruitless.
The official’s comments come after a virtual call among Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders today.
It is “obvious that the India sanctions had an effect,” the official said, referring to Trump’s pledge of issuing a 25% additional tariff on India for buying Russian oil. That tariff is expected to go into effect in the weeks ahead.
