'Trump Is Absolutely Right': EU Chief Backs US Push To End Russian Oil Imports To Europe

The European Commission is preparing a fresh proposal to impose tariffs on Russian oil entering the EU through Hungary and Slovakia, amid growing pressure from US President Donald Trump to sever all energy ties with Moscow. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen declared, “Trump is absolutely right. We're on it,” while vowing to end Europe’s reliance on Russian oil by year-end. Her remarks follow Trump’s UNGA criticism that EU purchases of Russian energy are funding Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
