Trump Clashes with Polish Reporter over Russia Sanctions Claims

President Donald Trump had a tense confrontation with Polish Radio reporter Marek Walkuski at the White House during a meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki, responding angrily to questions about his administration's actions against Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the war in Ukraine. Trump defended his use of secondary sanctions, particularly tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil, claiming these measures have cost Russia hundreds of billions of dollars and constitute significant pressure. He challenged the reporter's assertion of "no action" by emphasizing the impact of these tariffs and warned Walkuski to "get yourself a new job." Trump also mentioned plans for further sanctions phases but did not provide details. Despite Trump's repeated promises to punish Russia and push for peace talks, critics note that beyond the India tariffs, substantive new measures have yet to materialize, even as conflict continues and some deadlines set by Trump have passed without effect. Walkuski maintained professionalism, appreciating the president's directness while standing by his journalistic role.
