Trump tells Putin to end Ukraine war or face more sanctions – POLITICO

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened massive tariffs and sanctions on Russian products if Vladimir Putin fails to make a deal to end the war in Ukraine.

"Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don’t make a 'deal,' and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, directed at the Russian president.

"We can do it the easy way, or the hard way — and the easy way is always better," Trump said.
