U.S. President Trump believes that since China is the largest buyer of Russian oil, if European countries impose sanctions or tariff measures on China, Beijing may be able to force an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump concluded his visit to the United Kingdom on the 18th. During the trip, he was interviewed exclusively by Fox News. According to excerpts aired that afternoon, Trump said that he had helped resolve a number of conflicts, and based on his relationship with Russian President Putin, he originally thought the Russia-Ukraine war would be the easiest to resolve, but it turned out to be the most difficult.
Trump reiterated that he is very disappointed in Putin.
Trump stated that if European countries impose sanctions or introduce tariffs against China, perhaps the Russia-Ukraine war would come to an end. China is the largest buyer of Russian oil and also has other influence on Russia. If Europe takes some action against China, "I think China may be able to force an end to the war."
