This was reported by <em>Ukrinform<\/em> with reference to <em>The Guardian<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump's main proposals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Joint sanctions against Russia.<\/strong> Trump has said he is ready to impose \u00abserious sanctions\u00bb if all NATO countries agree and start doing the same. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embargo on Russian oil.<\/strong> Calling on allies <strong>to stop imports completely<\/strong> oil from Russia, calling the current purchases \u00abshocking\u00bb. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trade pressure on China.<\/strong> He suggested that NATO as a group should <strong>imposed 50-100% duties on China<\/strong> with their cancellation after the war; he argued that this was due to Beijing's influence on Moscow. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Argumentation and rhetoric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his address, Trump stressed that \u00abthis is not his war\u00bb, but he is \u00abready to act when you are\u00bb, addressing his allies. In his words, <strong>agreed energy restrictions and additional trade pressure<\/strong> could quickly change Russia's behaviour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day before, Trump had already called on the EU to consider <strong>100% duties against India and China<\/strong> to consolidate pressure on Russia and stated that <strong>\u00abpatience with Putin is running out\u00bb<\/strong>, and allowing for new sanctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this means for Ukraine and NATO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the proposals are picked up at the level of allies, <strong>international sanctions coalition<\/strong> may be strengthened by energy and trade instruments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refusal of Russian oil<\/strong> from individual NATO countries would reduce Russia's resource base and increase the effectiveness of the price ceiling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Idea. <strong>collective duties against China<\/strong> is beyond NATO's traditional competence and will require coordination with EU institutions and member state governments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What's next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The official reaction of the capitals of NATO member states and EU institutions to the proposed steps is expected. Key topics of discussion may include <strong>agreed energy restrictions<\/strong>, <strong>import duty regime<\/strong> and the potential impact on <strong>supply chains<\/strong> in Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0429\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0441\u044f \u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0421\u0428\u0410 \u0414\u043e\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0434 \u0422\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043f \u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043b\u044e\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0432 \u0443 Truth Social, \u0449\u043e \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0432 \u043b\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430 \u0441\u043e\u044e\u0437\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043c \u043f\u043e \u041d\u0410\u0422\u041e \u0456\u0437 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043c \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043f\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0443\u043f\u0456\u0432\u043b\u0456 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0438 \u0442\u0430 \u0441\u043a\u043e\u043e\u0440\u0434\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u0441\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0457, \u0430\u0431\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0448\u0432\u0438\u0434\u0448\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438. \u041f\u0440\u043e \u0446\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043b\u044f\u0454 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0456\u043d\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c \u0456\u0437 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f\u043c \u043d\u0430 The Guardian. \u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043f\u043e\u0437\u0438\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u0422\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043f\u0430 \u0410\u0440\u0433\u0443\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044f \u0442\u0430 \u0440\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u0423 \u0437\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u0422\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043f \u043d\u0430\u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0441\u0438\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u00ab\u0446\u0435 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805616],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-main-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions\/264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
