Trump says ready for ‘major’ Moscow sanctions if NATO stops buying Russian oil – POLITICO

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ready to impose “major sanctions” on Moscow if NATO members stop purchasing Russian oil. 

In a letter to alliance members, which he published on his social network Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I am ready to do major sanctions on Russia when all NATO nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO nations stop buying oil from Russia.” 

He added that oil purchases by NATO states have been “shocking,” arguing that it “greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia.”
