Trump to punish India with extremely high taxes due to Russian oil purchase: Hungary next?
Change language:
Trump announced his intention to significantly increase tariffs on India within 24 hours due to its purchase of Russian oil.
He claims that a drop in oil prices “by another $10 per barrel” could “force” Russia to stop fighting in Ukraine, which continues since February 2022, the Turkish Anadolu News Agency wrote.
Hungary remains heavily dependent on Russian oil, with about 80% of its domestic oil imports coming from Russia as of 2025.
Trump dicusses ending the war in Ukraine with Zelensky
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that he discussed ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict with US President Donald Trump over the phone.
“A productive conversation with President Trump, with the key focus of course being ending the war. We are grateful to @POTUS for all efforts toward a just and lasting peace,” he said on X.
According to Zelenskyy, he coordinated positions with Trump, exchanged assessments of the situation and agreed that Russia has intensified attacks.
“President Trump is fully informed about Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities,” he said.
New sanctions
Sanctions against Moscow were also on the agenda, Zelenskyy said, noting that Trump’s threat to strengthen pressure on Russia’s oil sector “can change a lot.”
