<h1>US President blames two states as primary funders of war, imposes extra 25% tariff raising levies to 50%</h1> A US President told the UN General Assembly that two states are 'primary funders' of an ongoing armed conflict by continuing to buy oil from the belligerent, and announced an additional 25% tariff on one purchasing state, bringing total US levies on that state to 50%. The targeted state characterized the tariffs as unjustified and unreasonable and stated it will take measures to protect national interests and economic security. The dispute raises international trade and diplomatic law issues concerning use of extraterritorial economic measures and lawful responses by affected states.
