Effort for Ukraine peace: Trump Sauer on Putin – moscow threatens oil customers with tariffs

US President Donald Trump claims to be “pissed off” on Vladimir Putin – but at the same time announced another discussion with the Russian president for the coming days. “I was very angry and pissed off when Putin about the credibility of Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj Herzog and began to talk about a new tour in Ukraine,” he said in an NBC interview.

Trump also threatened to occupy the buyers of Russian oil with punitive tariffs. This could make export more difficult and reduce his foreign exchange income. Russia’s major customers include India and China – new tariffs would probably lead to great economic faults.

Trump left open when he wanted to talk to Putin again. Most recently, they had called on March 19. The part of the NBC interview on Putin was posted by an account of the White House on the platform X.

The NBC jounalist Kristen Welker reported that Trump called her and made his anger clear. If he could not reach an agreement with Russia about the end of the bloodshed in Ukraine, “and if I believe that it was Russia’s fault – which may not be the case – but if I think it was Russia’s fault, then I will raise secondary dulls on oil, on everything that comes from Russia”.

The tariffs would therefore be 25 percent and could come at any time. Trump had recently announced so -called secondary tariffs against Venezuela. This punitive tariff is said to pay every country that draws oil or gas from Venezuela.
