U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday that he is likely to impose sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not engage in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
While Trump did not provide specifics regarding potential additional sanctions, it is important to note that the United States has already implemented significant sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
He also mentioned that his administration is considering the possibility of supplying weapons to Ukraine, emphasizing that the European Union should increase its support for the country.
“We’re in discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and we will soon be in talks with President Putin,” Trump stated. “We will assess the situation.”
Additionally, Trump revealed that he urged Chinese President Xi Jinping during a recent call to take action to help end the war in Ukraine. “He hasn’t made much progress on that front. He possesses considerable influence, just as we do. I suggested that he should work towards a resolution. We did address this matter.”
