Concerns Over EU Tariffs on China and Their Impact on Relations with Russia
September 18, 2025
The EU is planning new sanctions against Russia that will include Chinese companies. However, there are concerns that these sanctions will not satisfy Donald Trump, who ties sanctions against Russia to the imposition of 100% tariffs on China. Diplomats suggest that Trump may be trying to avoid taking action against Russia and may aim to hurt the EU economically. This situation adds pressure on European countries, and such demands may seriously impact the EU's economy. The situation is complex, and EU-China relations are at risk.
