President Donald Trump called on NATO to impose higher tariffs on China. In return, the president said he will impose more sanctions on Russia.
“I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump posted on social media on Saturday.

Hungary and Slovakia continue to purchase Russian oil.
“As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia,” Trump wrote.
The president also believes if NATO imposes 50% to 100% tariffs on China, they will lose control over Russia.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” he wrote. “…If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy and money of the United States.”
Last weekend, Russia launched its largest aerial assault on Ukraine since its invasion of the country in February 2022. A barrage of more than 800 drones and decoys fell across Ukraine, killing four people and striking the Cabinet of Ministers’ building in the heart of Kyiv.
On Wednesday, more than a dozen drones entered Poland’s airspace. Russia claims the drones mistakenly crossed into Poland after striking targets in Ukraine, but Poland said they tracked some of the drones coming directly from Belarus.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called on NATO allies to act.
“We need to invest more in our defence, ramp up defence production so we have what we need to deter and defend, and we need to continue to support Ukraine, whose security is interlinked with our own,” Rutte said in a Sept. 10 statement.
