How global tensions are complicating tariff-fueled inflation risks
Briefly

European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visit Washington, D.C., to seek solutions for ending the war. The recent Trump-Putin summit failed to produce a ceasefire or peace agreement, raising serious concerns about escalation and potential consequences. The Trump administration is considering sanctions on Russia's oil producers, but additional sanctions may delay peace talks. Secondary tariffs targeting India are planned as a strategy to undermine India’s crude dependency on Russia, affecting its access to U.S. markets while disrupting financing for Russia's war effort.
Top Trump adviser Peter Navarro stated that the White House would impose indirect sanctions on Russia by targeting India with secondary tariffs to disrupt access to US markets.
