Trump “highly considering” large -scale sanctions and tariffs for Russia

US President Donald Trump has said he is “considering large -scale sanctions” and tariffs for Russia until a deal to end and peace have been achieved with Ukraine.

Trump said he was considering this move because “Russia” Russia is currently hitting Ukraine on the battlefield.

Trump’s comments have noted a sharp change in tone. After entering office, he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and accused the leader of Ukraine of not wanting peace with Russia.

Hours later, however, the US President told reporters that “it is difficult to deal with Ukraine” and reiterated that he trusts Putin.

Last Friday, Trump BRIND Ukrainian leader Volodimir Zelenski in the oval officeS Days earlier, he had even called him a dictator and accused Ukraine of beginning the war that began on February 24, 2022, when Putin began a full-scale invasion in the neighboring country.

The public dress was followed this week by Trump stopped all US military assistance and sharing intelligence With Kyiv.

It is unclear whether this made it possible for a large -scale rocket and drones of Russia against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Thursday night.

On Friday morning, Trump issued his threat of sanctions on sanctions against Russia – apparently because of the attack.

“They (Russia) are currently bombing hell from them (Ukraine) … And I presented a statement, a very strong statement” I can’t do it, I can’t do it, “Trump said in an oval office on Friday.

Asked if this was the result of a US pause in military cooperation with Ukraine, Trump said Putin was doing “what someone else would do.”

And he justified the relocation of the United States by saying, “I want to know that they (Ukraine) want to settle down and I don’t know they want to settle.”

In Friday’s publication, Trump wrote: “I am considering large -scale banking, sanctions and tariffs for Russia until a fire agreement and a final settlement of peace are reached. For Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now before it’s too late. “

He did not provide any details of how such sanctions and tariffs against Russia could work.

Moscow is already under the most severe Western sanctions in its history, many of which are aimed at exporting oil and reserves from foreign currency.

He managed to surround them to a large extent by selling oil at a discount in India and China, while importing many of the goods he had previously received from the West through countries such as Kazakhstan.

China is reported to help maintain Russia’s military efforts with large volumes of dual -use technologies it denies.

The White House administration could not help but notice that all the pressure for a peaceful deal was accumulated only in Ukraine, not Russia. So it is possible that Trump’s threat may be an attempt to present himself more even.

The problem is that we just don’t know what was discussed and what was agreed in this “long-term and extremely productive” 90-minute telephone conversation that Donald Trump suddenly announced that he had had a Russian president last month.

Until now, Vladimir Putin has played a smart hand, sitting back and without a doubt he enjoys watching the transatlantic alliance to break down at the seams.

Compared to this profit, the threat of US tariffs is unlikely to bother him unjustifiably.
