Trump on Wednesday threatened to impose more sanctions and tariffs on Russia if President Vladimir Putin fails to make a deal to end the war in Ukraine.
Russia has been waging a full-scale invasion of Ukraine for almost three years, in a brutal conflict which has claimed tens of thousands of lives on both sides as Kyiv’s forces resist the Kremlin’s assault.
“Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don’t make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
“We can do it the easy way, or the hard way — and the easy way is always better,” Trump added.
