Trump ready for ‘major sanctions on Russia’ over its ‘RIDICULOUS WAR’
President Donald Trump has stated his readiness to impose significant sanctions on Russia, contingent upon NATO countries ceasing their oil purchases from Russia. Trump communicated this condition in a letter posted on social media, emphasizing that NATO's commitment to victory has been insufficient and that some members' continued purchase of Russian oil weakens their negotiating power. He also proposed that NATO impose tariffs of 50% to 100% on China, believing this would help end the war by weakening China's influence over Russia. Trump asserted that if NATO agrees to his terms, the war would end quickly, saving lives, and that failure to comply would be a waste of time and resources. This statement comes amidst Russia's recent actions, including testing Polish borders with drones, which Poland views as deliberate acts of terror rather than mistakes. The UN Security Council convened in response to the drone incursions, with Poland demanding accountability from Russia. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has indicated that Ukraine peace talks are currently paused rather than actively progressing. Trump has expressed growing impatience with Russia, despite his unsuccessful mediation efforts, and fears that the recent incursion into Poland could escalate the conflict.
