“Based on the fact that russia is now absolutely beating Ukraine on the battlefield, I am seriously considering imposing broad-based banking sanctions, sanctions and tariffs on russia until a ceasefire and a final peace agreement is reached,” Trump wrote.
He also called on Ukraine and russia to come to the negotiating table “right now” “before it's too late.”
Trump's post on Truth Social is reportedly his first public threats against russia since taking office and taking a softer stance toward russian dictator Volodymyr putin.
An unnamed senior White House official said that “Trump's anger has been growing” in recent days over russia's behavior and escalation of strikes on Ukraine while the American leader insists on a ceasefire.
