US President Donald Trump threatens Russia with sanctions and tariffs

US President Donald Trump threatens Russia with far-reaching sanctions and demands peace negotiations with Ukraine. “To Russia and Ukraine: Sit at the negotiating table immediately before it is too late,” he wrote Truth Social on his online language tube. He consider “large -scale banking, sanctions and tariffs against Russia” until a ceasefire and a final peace agreement have been reached. Moscow would currently literally flatten Ukraine on the battlefield, said the Republican.

Trump had threatened Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin with sanctions shortly after taking office due to the Ukraine War. At that time he wrote: “Stop this crazy war. It only gets worse.” Most recently, Trump’s tone towards Moscow had changed significantly. The US President talked to the Russian President for his mouth and verbally attacked the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj. After the scandal in the White House a week ago, the US government even stopped military help for the country attacked by Russia.

Most recently, the United States announced that it would want to conduct negotiations again with Ukraine. The US specialist Steve Witkoff spoke of a planned meeting with representatives of Ukraine in Saudi Arabia. Witkoff also said positively about a letter that Selenskyj wrote to Trump after the dusting in the Oval Office. “An apology was given. It was recognized that the United States had done so much for the state of Ukraine, and a feeling of gratitude was expressed,” says Witkoff about the content of the letter.

The conversations about an end to the war in Ukraine are easier with Moscow than with Kiev for US President Donald Trump. “To be honest, I find it more difficult to negotiate with Ukraine and they don’t have the best cards,” he said on Friday at a press conference in the White House. “It may be easier to negotiate with Russia.”

He trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump emphasized: “I think he.” Although he had only threatened Russia with new sanctions and tariffs a few hours earlier because of his attacks on Ukraine, Trump expressed understanding for Putin at the press conference: “I think he is doing what everyone would do now,” said the US President. He always had a good relationship with Putin and he wanted to end the war, emphasized Trump. “I think it will be more generous than he has to be, and that’s pretty good.”

During the night and the early hours of the morning, Russia had once again took neighboring Ukraine under heavy shelling with rockets and drones – and in particular attacked energy systems. Russia systematically attacks Ukraine’s energy supply systematically in its now more than three years. More than half of the capacities for electricity generation have already been destroyed. Because of the war of aggression, the West has already proven Russia with far -reaching sanctions.
