according to sources, the European Union plans to submit a proposal for the latest round of sanctions against Russia to member states as early as Friday after a phone call between von der Leyen and Trump. Following the call on Tuesday, the President of the European Commission stated that this sanction proposal would be the 19th round of sanctions and would target cryptocurrency, the banking sector, and the energy sector. The United States has pressured its G7 allies to impose up to 100% tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil in order to force Putin and the Ukrainian side back to the negotiating table. However, this demand may face resistance in the capitals of EU member states. Sources said that Trump reiterated in the call that he prefers pressure through tariffs over sanctions. Currently, G7 officials are working on advancing a series of proposals with the goal of finalizing the relevant plans within the next two weeks.
