The majority of the U.S. populace appears to be in favor of implementing sanctions on the countries that currently trade with Russia. The objective of this action would be to add a layer of intensity to the ongoing effort to bring the conflict in Ukraine to a halt. A recent nationwide study revealed that 62% of those surveyed shared this view. This reflects a similar stance that the current U.S. administration has demonstrated, which includes a possible extension of the sanctions to China.
Russia instigated a comprehensive assault on Ukraine in February 2022. The severity of this conflict has not been seen in Europe since the dark days of World War II. An overwhelming number of individuals, exceeding 1 million, have been either savagely killed or severely wounded. Regrettably, the casualty count includes a significant number of Ukrainian civilians.
The current U.S. leadership, led by the President, has been proactively engaged in diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the hostilities. Despite the commitment and intensity of these efforts, a peaceful resolution remains elusive, contradicting the aspiration expressed by the President when he assumed office.
In response to the ongoing tensions in Ukraine, the U.S. President continues to explore more aggressive measures to deter Russia. These measures may include imposing substantial economic sanctions on those countries that continue to trade with Russia. Notably mentioned in these potential targets are China, known for being the greatest consumer of Russian oil, as well as other nations such as Turkey and the UAE.
The imposition of punitive economic measures on trading partners with Russia garners broad support from a variety of political affiliations in the U.S. An impressive 76% of those affiliated with the President’s party are in favor of these targeted sanctions. This strategy is also championed by a slight majority of those aligned with the opposing party, with the poll showing 58% approval.
This particular study that has shed light on citizens’ views towards Russia’s trading partners was carried out comprehensively on a national level. It successfully collected views from 1,022 adults residing in the U.S., providing a broad representation of public sentiment.
As with any survey, there is a margin of error inherent in its findings. For all respondents in this study, the margin of error stands at 3 percentage points. When considering the opinions of the partisan groups separately, this rate varies slightly, with the margin of error increasing to 6 points.
