Donald Trump expressed frustration with Vladimir Putin over stalled ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine, warning that buyers of Russian oil could face secondary tariffs if no agreement is reached. Speaking on Sunday, Trump’s remarks signaled growing impatience within the White House as efforts to broker a resolution to the war in Ukraine drag on without a breakthrough.
We don’t even import Russian oil….
I think this headline overstates what Trump said.
If he starts repeating this on Fox News then maybe.
But saying it once on NBC does not mean much
I guess I’m supposed to be an academic to post here because I’m apparently not qualified otherwise….but if Trump is threatening Putin it’s only because Putin told him to do it. Trump has been a Russian asset since the late 80s. That’s what happens when you can’t get a loan through the usual channels, you get one (several) through the mob, and in turn you become either dead or indebted to them by any means necessary. Trump chose the latter. Sorry, I’ll see myself my out. Pass me a dunce cap.
as if russia cares
Trump’s cards are military arms and only that. Tariffs on russia is grandstanding.
the previous administration used “sanctions” trump uses “tariffs” the needs are the same control
More theatre. Play fighting using ideas putin is feeding him
India imports a lot of Russian oil. In the 3rd year of war India imported $50+ billion worth of Russian oil.
Trump has never done any actions that hurt or were negative for Russia. India has been buying sanctioned russian oil so i’m a bit distrustful of some of their media. Trump won’t sanction anything.
Huh, I seem to remember that this war was going to be over in 24 hours. Funny how that works. My mind must be playing tricks on me.
