Russian President Vladimir Putin observed the escalating tensions between the U.S. and its allies following Trump's imposition of tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. While Russia stands to benefit economically from the tariffs, Putin expressed a desire to remain neutral in the conflict.
Commenting on Trump 's decision to impose trade duties on America's closest trading partners at the weekend, the Kremlin on Monday said it is keeping a close eye on "tensions" from the sidelines.
Russian President Vladimir Putin smiles during his meeting with workers, while visiting the AvtoVAZ automobile plant, January 28, 2025, in Togliatti, Russia.Russia's Vladimir Putin warned Europe will quickly "stand at the feet of the master" after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, provoking a global markets meltdown and alarm among European allies.
The tariffs also sow disarray among erstwhile allies — partners who, like the U.S. under former President Joe Biden, have looked to weaken Russia's leadership and economy with punitive measures designed to stymy Moscow's economic and geopolitical power. "I assure you: Trump, with his character, with his persistence, he will restore order there quite quickly. And all of them, you will see — it will happen quickly, soon — they will all stand at the feet of the master and will wag their tails a little. Everything will fall into place," Putin told pro-Kremlin journalist Pavel Zarubin, who presents the primetime "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program on the Rossiya-1 state TV channel.
Putin said last month that he hoped he and Trump could meet soon to discuss the war and energy prices.
