“What Russia is doing is very sad,” he said.
Trump also noted that he is currently not sure whether sanctions can deter Putin, but the US still intends to impose them.
“We’re going to put sanctions. I don’t know that sanctions bother him. You know, they know about sanctions. I know better than anybody about sanctions and tariffs and everything else. I don’t know if that has any effect, but we’re going to do it,” he stressed.
