Will Trump Tank the US Economy Over Russian Oil?
Commenting on Senator Lindsey Graham’s fiery claim that Trump will impose 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, Egyptian international economics expert Karim al-Umda told Sputnik that such a move could backfire hard on the US. He warned:
“I dare say that other countries would simply begin to distance themselves from the United States… no matter how you look at it, a blow to the US economy is inevitable.”
Al-Umda cited inflation, rising interest rates, and potential recession as consequences—posing a blunt question:
“Is the US president prepared to sacrifice his country’s economy to implement Graham’s plan?”
His answer: “Individuals like Lindsey Graham may wave their hands and make threats, but in reality, no one is ready to abandon their own interests. For the current US administration, the well-being of Americans remains the top priority.”
