Donald Trump Threatens Secondary Tariffs on Russia - What Are They? (Newsweek)

Article by Newsweek explores the concept of secondary tariffs in light of Donald Trump’s recent threat to impose them on Russia. Includes comment from L. Alan Winters: "If [the tariffs] caused India and China to stop buying Russian oil, they'd certainly be effective in increasing pressure. However, I am not sure they will have much effect though. Neither India nor China would relish being seen to give in to U.S. pressure. India is being courted by the West, including the U.S., and if it objected strongly and threatened to slow progress on the India-West détente, I think Trump would blink. China is bracing for trade war and has clearly decided that strength is their key response not cooperation."
