Tension between America and Russia may increase once again. The Trump administration has prepared new economic sanctions against Russia. This step will be taken if Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to delay ending the war in Ukraine. American officials have given this information to Reuters.

What is America’s new plan?

Under America’s new plan, preparations are being made to directly attack Russia’s banking system and oil industry. Both these areas are most important for Russia’s war financing. If these restrictions are implemented, it could have a major impact on Russia’s economy. However, it has not been decided yet whether the Trump administration will implement them immediately or not.

Restrictions have been imposed earlier also

Earlier, America had imposed sanctions on Russia’s big oil companies Lukoil and Rosneft. After these sanctions, global oil prices increased by more than $2 and countries like China and India had to find alternative supplies of oil.

Role of European countries

According to a senior American official, America now wants European countries (EU) to take the next big step. Be it new restrictions or import duties. For now, Trump can wait and watch the situation for some time to understand how Russia reacts to these recent sanctions.

Ukraine is getting support

The US has also suggested the European Union (EU) to use frozen Russian assets to purchase American weapons for Ukraine. Apart from this, America is also considering using Russian assets kept in its country to help Ukraine in the war.

Trump’s strategy and challenges

President Donald Trump is presenting himself as a global peacemaker, but he has admitted that ending the Russia-Ukraine war has proved more difficult than expected. European countries, in view of Trump’s changing policies regarding Russia, are preparing to take new steps at their own level.

Ukraine’s new demand

According to sources, Ukraine has suggested to the US and its allies that all Russian banks be completely cut off from the US dollar system, so as to put further pressure on Russia’s international financial activities. Overall, this new strategy of the Trump administration is being considered as the next big step towards increasing economic pressure on Russia as well as strengthening Ukraine.
