Trump Strongly Considering Imposing Large Scale Banking Sanctions, Tariffs On Russia- wna24

Washington: Donald Trump on Friday said that he’s considering imposing large scale sanctions on Russia until a ceasefire agreement and peace deal is finalised between Moscow and Kyiv. The US President has warned both Russia and Ukraine to get on the table right now before it’s too late.

Taking to truth social, Donald Trump wrote, “Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!”

Trump has been trying hard to bring both Russia and Ukraine on the negotiating table to end the three year old war, which has killed hundreds of people. Trump last week publicly slammed Ukrainian counterpart as the Oval Office meeting between the two turned into a full public showdown.

Trump was visibly frustrated with Zelenskyy’s conduct who was trying to play his cards with the US President when he wasn’t in a position to do so. Trump bashed Zelenskyy who was not agreeing for a ceasefire with Russia saying he was losing the war and couldn’t dictate terms.   

The post came as Trump faces criticism for increasing pressure on Ukraine to reach a deal while downplaying or even denying Russia’s responsibility for starting the war with its invasion three years ago.

In his Truth Social Post, Trump did not just express willingness of attacking Russia with strong sanctions, he almost gave an ultimatum to both Kyiv and Moscow to get to the table right now, before it is too late.
