Trump can stop the Russian economic tap

President Trump meets with Vladimir Putin in Ankarag, Alaska. Like everyone, I hope the meeting will go well and Putin will agree to a ceasefire as a first step towards a peace agreement that would end the war of Russia, Ukraine.

If Vladimir Putin’s behavior is offended, President Donald Trump can completely Turn off his economic and monetary tap.

If anyone can negotiate the end of the war, Mr. Trump can. As I said, Trump comes to this meeting with the wind on his back. He had successful and successful local political achievements at home and abroad. On the international level, Iran is obliterating. His exceptional success in rearranging global trade has made him the most famous, strongest and most popular people on this planet. But I doubt that Vladimir Putin sees him this way.

The former KGB agent is the intense madness that wants to extend what he believes is the historical Russian empire. He does not care much that he kills men, women and civilian children. Or their homes. Or their hospitals. It is not much concerned that at least 300,000 people died in this war. It brings mercenary forces from North Korea, China and other communist authoritarian countries to confuse this crazy war. He thought he could invade Ukraine, seize Kiev within two months, and control all lands, but it turned out that he had made a mistake in his appreciation badly. It has no interest in all this lost blood or treasure.

I say this is not to mention what is clear, but to emphasize my personal view that Putin is not fully trustworthy and will do anything to distract from a real or permanent peace stop. I hope to be wrong. I support what President Trump is trying to do. Trump is the peacemaker. Putin is a war criminal.

However, President Trump spoke on board the plane to Alaska about the consequences if Putin’s behavior is always misrepresented and said that there will be “severe” economic consequences if they did not agree to end the war.

If Putin’s behavior is offended, President Trump has a arsenal of commercial and financial weapons that will suffocate and completely destroy the Russian economy. It is a single -horse economy that depends on oil and gas. Therefore, Mr. Trump can first raise the tariffs significantlyAnyone who buys Russian oil or other Russian commodities.

India has already punished the purchase of Russian oil, by slapping a 25 % tariff for Indian sales of the United States – in addition to the 25 % previous tariff. You can raise this to a 100 % tariff. China is a great buyer of Russian oil and goods. It should not be fortified against the high tariff. In other words, you want to deal with Russia, then you cannot deal with the United States

Then there Secondary penalties. The same idea: Buy Russian oil or other commodities, you cannot do any work with the United States. In other words, we not only say that we are punishing your work with Russia, but the secondary punishment is also any work with the United States and financially, we can impose this. We can impose this by bombing Russia completely from the dollar payment system.

First, there is a quick notebook for payment. All dollar payments, including all international banks, must be recorded. Therefore, we will know immediately to help Russia. Then we can prevent treatment; Actual payment. We do this through the Federal Reserve, which is the actual payment system, the actual transfer of money.

If the United States or foreign banks want to infiltrate a batch related to Russia, it can be deprived of reaching the Federal Reserve-which closes the entire transaction.

The Rapid System and Federal Reserve are of course dependent on the dollar. But more than 90 % of global trading transactions depend on the dollar, either directly or indirectly. Think of China, IndiaBut one way or another will pay through the dollar.

Therefore, President Trump can mainly run the economic and financial water in Russia. It can close the Russian faucet.

Does Putin know this? Well, I don’t know. But he will soon discover whether he does not make a deal with President Trump.
