Remarkable that the EU is imposing secondary sanctions on Chinese banks—a bridge the U.S. still hasn't crossed—just as Washington pauses export controls on China. 🤷♂️
SCOOP Trump freezes export controls to secure trade deal with China & boost the odds of a summit with Xi Jinping. Security experts concerned at Trump allowing Nvidia to sell H20 to China.

The EU is moving to lower the price cap on Russian oil *unilaterally*. That breaks from the original concept, which called for G7 consensus on any changes. It’s the first time I can recall the EU getting this far out ahead of the U.S. on sanctions policy 👏🇪🇺.
Europe gets tougher on Putin. It slashed the oil price cap to $47.60, kicked 22 Russian banks out of SWIFT, sanctioned Chinese and Indian entities for helping Putin, and permanently blocked Nord Stream revival. WSJ: Trump must follow with 500% oil tariffs, $300B in asset.1/

It's a pity because Trump *could* wield secondary sanctions to reduce Russia's energy revenues.

Congress should wield oil sanctions to force Russia to negotiate.

If the goal here is to reduce Russia's energy exports, it won't work. 100%+ tariffs on China already proved politically impossible. Now Trump is threatening 100%+ tariffs on India, the EU, and Japan, too. Empty threats won't change behavior.
President Trump says the US would impose “secondary tariffs” of about 100% on Russian imports if deal is not reached in 50 days.

Excellent piece by @joshualipsky. "Dollar dominance" means many different things. The parts of it that are critical to national security could erode faster than others—especially if the U.S. fails to invest in upgrading payment systems that were built half a century ago.
The dollar is fine/the dollar is in trouble. Both are true - but you have to break down the difference between the national security and macroeconomic role of the dollar. That's what I try to do in a new op-ed in @nytopinion today.

As I wrote in @ForeignAffairs last month, there’s a tried-and-true model for Congressional oil sanctions—one that would likely work against Russia. @LindseyGrahamSC should replace the existing 500% secondary tariff with the Iran model:
