Trump Threatens Sanctions, Tariffs Against Russia Over Ukraine Conflict

Former President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia, threatening to impose heavy taxes, tariffs, and sanctions unless President Vladimir Putin moves quickly to negotiate an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. In a series of posts on his social media platform, Trump underscored the urgency of resolving the conflict, asserting that failure to reach a deal would result in severe economic consequences for Russia. While expressing admiration for the Russian people and highlighting a positive relationship with Putin, Trump emphasized that the war would not have begun under his leadership. He claimed that the situation is dire for Russia's economy and urged a quick settlement to prevent further escalation. Trump's remarks come amidst a backdrop of discussions about potential sanctions on Russian exports, as the U.S. seeks to exert pressure on Moscow. Analysts remain skeptical about the feasibility of negotiations while Russia continues its military advances.
