TARIFFS WILL NOT WORK ON RUSSIA
By: Derek Varsalona
President Trump is seriously considering putting tariffs on Russia. This is not going to stop Putin from invading Ukraine. Tariffs on Russia are not going to stop Putin, but I have a solution.
India claims that tariffs on Russia will hurt ties between India and the United States. Just like Putin does not care about the tariffs, neither does President Trump care about what India thinks. I do support these tariffs to get our trade balance in line.
The tariffs on Russia are to punish buyers of Russian oil. I understand why India is upset since they obtain their oil from Russia.
The sanctions on Russian oil will not work. The war in Ukraine will still go on. The only thing that will work is a bullet to Putin's head.
