Trump says no imminent plans to penalize China for buying Russian oil
US President Donald Trump said on Friday he did not immediately need to consider retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil but might have to 'in two or three weeks.' Trump has threatened sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries that buy its oil if no moves are made to end the war in Ukraine. China and India are the top two buyers of Russian oil. The president last week imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing its continued imports of Russian oil. However, Trump has not taken similar action against China. He was asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity if he was now considering such action against Beijing after he and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce an agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine. 'Well, because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that,' Trump said after his summit with Putin in Alaska. 'Now, I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well.' Chinese President Xi Jinping's slowing economy will suffer if Trump follows through on a promise to ramp up Russia-related sanctions and tariffs. Xi and Trump are working on a trade deal that could lower tensions – and import taxes – between the world's two biggest economies. But China could be the biggest remaining target, outside of Russia, if Trump ramps up punitive measures.

Trump to Hold Off Hiking China Tariffs Over Russia Oil Purchases
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump said he will hold off on raising tariffs on Chinese goods over the country's purchases of Russian oil, citing progress he said was made with Vladimir Putin toward ending the war in Ukraine. 'Because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that,' Trump said Friday in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity after his summit with Putin. 'Now, I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now.' Trump earlier this month threatened buyers of Russian energy with additional tariffs as a means of pressuring Putin into peace talks with Ukraine. The US president already doubled duties on Indian products to 50% starting Aug. 27 over its purchases of oil from Moscow. Raising tariffs on China, though, would risk breaking a trade truce that Trump on Monday agreed to extend for another 90 days. That agreement saw Washington and Beijing lower duties on each others' goods that reached astronomical levels in the spring, which spooked global markets. China has defended its imports of Russian oil as lawful and necessary for its energy security. Trump fell short of reaching a ceasefire deal with Putin during their meeting in Alaska, but said they agreed on many points and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to make a deal with the leader who launched an unprovoked invasion of his country in 2022. 'I think, you know, the meeting went very well,' Trump said on Fox News. More stories like this are available on
