The US is ready to increase economic pressure on Russia. However, this requires the support of European allies. About this said Alan Rapoport, economic policy reporter at The New York Times.
According to the reporter, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant said in an interview that the US is ready to increase pressure on Russia, but there is a condition.
"We are ready to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow us," said the head of the US Treasury Department.
He added that imposing additional secondary sanctions and tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil could lead Russia's economy to "complete collapse" and force Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.
