## Prediction

Within seven days, the U.S. House move toward 100% tariffs on Russian energy buyers is likely to trigger high-level G7 discussions on whether to align with, dilute, or oppose the measure. European states dependent on residual Russian flows via intermediaries will resist full alignment but may support stricter enforcement of price caps and shipping restrictions as a compromise. This debate will expose fault lines between the U.S. and allies over secondary sanctions and may encourage Russia and partners to accelerate workarounds in shipping, insurance, and currency settlement. Confirmation would be G7 or EU communiqués explicitly addressing the U.S. bill; denial would be conspicuous silence or focus solely on existing sanctions mechanisms.

## Drivers

- U.S. House bill enabling 100% tariffs on states buying Russian oil and gas
- Existing G7 price cap regime and uneven enforcement
- High reliance of some G7 members on global crude price stability
- Growing U.S. use of tariffs and secondary sanctions as tools
