The United States has expressed its openness to partnering with European countries to impose new sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil, in an attempt to "collapse" their economies.
"We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow suit ," Treasury Secretary Scott said on NBC News' "Meet the Press."
" We are now in a race between how long can the Ukrainian military hold out and how long can the Russian economy hold out? And if the US and [the European Union] can intervene, impose more sanctions, secondary tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, the Russian economy will be in total collapse and that will bring President Putin to the negotiating table, " Bessent said.
Last month, the Trump administration imposed 50% tariffs on India, some of the highest tariffs it has imposed on a foreign nation.
The comments come just hours after Russia launched its biggest airstrike of the war overnight, killing at least four people and setting fire to a government building in Kiev.
