Former US President Donald Trump indicated his willingness to impose sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin refuses to engage in negotiations to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump's statement came amidst concerns over the escalating conflict and the need for diplomatic solutions.
US President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday, January 21, that he would likely impose sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin declines to engage in negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. Trump refrained from disclosing specific details regarding potential additional sanctions. The United States has already implemented substantial sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Trump further indicated that his administration was evaluating the matter of providing weapons to Ukraine, while emphasizing his belief that the European Union should contribute more substantially to Ukraine's support. 'We're talking to (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskiy, we're going to be talking with President Putin very soon,' Trump remarked. 'We're going to look at it.' Trump asserted that he had urged Chinese President Xi Jinping during a phone call to intervene and halt the Ukraine war. 'He's not done very much on that. He's got a lot of ... power, like we have a lot of power. I said, 'You ought to get it settled.' We did discuss it.
