Trump Highlights: Europe’s Action on China Could Force Russia to End the War, Analyst Claims
Former U.S.
President Donald Trump made a striking statement that has caught the attention of the international community.
According to him, if the European Union shows political resolve and imposes sanctions on China — particularly in the realm of trade and energy restrictions — the Asian giant might pressure Russia into ending its ongoing war in Ukraine.
Trump emphasized that China is currently the largest buyer of Russian oil, thereby wielding significant influence over Moscow.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, he revealed his plans to speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and hopes to persuade him of the importance of ending the conflict.
“If Europe takes measures — whether sanctions or tariffs — I am convinced that it would impact the situation,” Trump said.
His remarks imply that despite current efforts, European actions often lack sufficient force to alter the course of the Ukraine war.
The former president noted that his personal talks with the Chinese leadership are already underway and are “going very well,” especially regarding trade agreements and the return of American companies to China.
Trump believes that coordinated efforts in energy and security policies can shift the deadlock, highlighting the critical role that decision-making from major global players can have in conflict resolution.
This opens new diplomatic opportunities, where the EU’s decisive action and strategic negotiations with China and Russia could significantly influence the future of the ongoing war.
