Large customs duties in the event of continuing to buy Russian oil Arabausa

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday that he warned Chinese officials that the continued purchase of Russian oil -subject oil would lead to the imposition of large customs duties due to legislation in the “Congress”, but it was reported that Beijing would protect its energy in the field of energy.

At the end of two days of the US -Chinese trade talks in Stockholm, Pesent said that he also expressed the United States’s dissatisfaction with China’s continued purchase of Iranian sanctions, and its sales of more than $ 15 billion of dual -use technological goods to Russia, which strengthened the Moscow war against Ukraine.

Pesent said that the legislation in the “Congress”, which is allowed to impose customs duties of up to 500 percent on the countries that buy the Russian -subject -subject oil, will push the United States’ allies to take similar steps to cut Russia’s energy revenues.

On Monday, Trump has shortened the deadline for Moscow to make progress towards a peace agreement in the Ukraine war, otherwise its oil clients will be imposed 100 percent by 100 percent within 10 to 12 days, which reflects its increasing frustration with Russia’s actions.

“So, I think anyone buying Russian oil -subject oil should be ready for this,” Besent said at a press conference. He added that Chinese officials responded by saying that China is a sovereign country, and has energy needs, and that oil purchases will be based on its internal policies.

He continued: «The Chinese take their sovereignty to be pregnant. We do not want to prejudice their sovereignty, so they want to pay 100 percent customs duties. ” China is still the largest buyer of Russian oil, about two million barrels per day, followed by India and Turkey.

Besent explained that his counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister is Leving, warned that China’s continued sale of goods to Russia, which is used in weapons would harm its efforts to strengthen trade relations with Europe. He said: “I indicated to them that this hurts a lot of their general reputation in Europe, as they contribute to the war on the European borders.”
