Nevertheless, in the face of criticism of his ties with Putin, Trump claimed that talks with Russia were “easier” than with Ukraine.
Amid claims that he favours Moscow over the nation it invaded, Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Russia with taxes and penalties in a statement.
Trump refrained from denouncing Russia’s invasion, which has been condemned as an unlawful crime of aggression under the UN Charter, on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
Instead, he concentrated on Russia’s most recent shelling, which came days after the United States declared it would temporarily cease providing Ukraine with military intelligence.
Until a cease-fire and final peace settlement agreement are reached, Trump tweeted, “I am seriously considering large-scale banking sanctions, sanctions, and tariffs on Russia because Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now.”
Get to the table now, before it’s too late, Russia and Ukraine. Many thanks!
As Ukraine has been preventing a full-scale invasion since February 2022, Trump has claimed over and again that he wants to act as a “peacemaker” and “mediator” between Russia and Ukraine.
