Trump allowed for the introduction of additional sanctions against Russia

The United States may impose additional sanctions against RUSSIA if the pace of resolution of the Ukrainian conflict proves insufficient. This was stated by US President Donald Trump at a joint press conference with PresidentFinland's Alexander Stubb at the White House.

“I can, I can,” the American leader said, answering a journalist’s question about whether he would allow for the introduction of additional sanctions against Russia.

In September, speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, Trump threatened Russia with a "very significant package of tariffs" if the European Union did the same. According to Trump, this package would "very quickly stop the bloodshed" if Russia was not prepared to reach an agreement to end the conflict with Ukraine.

Trump previously stated that European sanctions against Russia are "not tough enough" and that the EU should also abandon Russian oil . "They're not doing their job. NATO needs to pull together. Europe needs to pull together," he said.

The Kremlin stated that it had seen Trump's statement about his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin running out, and emphasized that Moscow remains interested in and prepared to resolve the Ukrainian crisis diplomatically. Previously, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov repeatedly stated that the Russian economy had acquired a "certain immunity" to sanctions. Moscow condemns the restrictions and demands their lifting.

Presidential Aide for International Affairs Yuri Ushakov stated that Moscow and Washington continue to work on the basis of the agreements reached between Putin and Trump, and that claims that the momentum of their meeting in Alaska has been exhausted are incorrect.
