Trump Proposes NATO Tariffs on China to Curb Russian Support in Ukraine War
Former President Donald TRUMP has floated a radical economic strategy to alter the course of the Ukraine conflict, urging NATO members to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. The move aims to sever Beijing's financial lifeline to Moscow, forcing a recalculation of China's alliance with Russia.
This unprecedented tariff proposal marks a departure from conventional sanctions, targeting the Sino-Russian economic axis at its core. By weaponizing trade policy, Trump seeks to amplify pressure on the Kremlin without direct military escalation—a tactic that could redefine Western economic statecraft.
The plan hinges on collective NATO action, requiring unified implementation to avoid loopholes. Such coordination WOULD demonstrate alliance cohesion while testing China's tolerance for economic pain in sustaining its partnership with Russia.
