Senator Dzhabarov declared Russia's readiness to overcome Trump's sanctions and tariffs

Moscow is ready to overcome new sanctions and economic pressure measures, including tariff threats from US President Donald Trump. This was stated to Izvestia by Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.

The burden on Washington: why did Trump use the language of threats to Moscow

And why will 100% duties make little difference in trade, and Patriot supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not bring them success on the battlefield?

"We will overcome both these new sanctions and the tariffs that Trump is threatening. The imposition of secondary sanctions against countries such as China and India will cause enormous damage to the American economy. None of these countries will agree to buy oil and gas more expensive than from Russia," he said in an interview with Izvestia.

He also pointed to the role of Great Britain, which, in his words, continues to "intrigue" and draw the United States into its geopolitical games.

"For some reason, Mr. Trump believes that he is an arbitrator and can issue ultimatums. But the fact is that ultimatums are usually presented to the losing side, which Russia is not. On the contrary, we are winning during a special military operation," Jabarov said.

On July 28, Trump announced a new deadline of 10-12 days to cease fire in Ukraine, instead of the previous 50-day deadline. Back on July 14, he announced the introduction of secondary duties by the United States of 100% against the Russian Federation if a settlement of the conflict was not reached within 50 days.
