EU weighs tariffs on Russian oil imports
The European Commission said Wednesday that it was working on potentially imposing tariffs on imports of Russian oil into the bloc, in the face of pressure from US President Donald Trump.
Trump has demanded that Europe end energy imports from Moscow before agreeing to move ahead with punishing sanctions against Moscow over the war in Ukraine.
The EU has already cut around 90 percent of its oil imports from Russia since Moscow’s 2022 invasion, and has announced a plan to phase out the remaining purchases by the end of 2027.
