President Trump threatened to impose "high levels" of tariffs and sanctions on Russia if there is no deal to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump called out Russian President Vladimir Putin by name in the social media post, arguing that he always had a good relationship with the leader, but that it was time to settle "this ridiculous War!"

"We can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better," Trump wrote on his social media website. " 'It's time to MAKE A DEAL.' NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!"

During his campaign, Trump repeatedly said he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day if he was elected president. He would go on to claim that Putin would never have invaded had Trump been president.

It's unclear how much impact economic penalties would have on the Russian government. The Biden istration already imposed various sanctions on Russia's economic sectors.

Trump said in his post that he was not "looking to hurt Russia" and that he's offering Putin "a very big FAVOR," considering the number of lives lost and the impacts on Russia's economy. Russia actually sells very little to the United States. In the first 11 months of last year, the U.S. imported a little less than $3 billion worth of Russian goods. That's about one-tenth of 1% of total U.S. imports. And it's a reduction of about 90% from what the U.S. imported from Russia in 2021, the year before the invasion of Ukraine.

"Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE," he also wrote.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would like to have peace, "but it takes two to tango."

"We'll see what happens anytime they want," Trump said. "I mean, I'd like to see that end. Millions of people are being killed, and they're being killed. It's a vicious situation."

On Inauguration Day Monday, Putin congratulated Trump and said he was open to dialogue and a deal for "long-term peace."

Enough of trump and US news abeg

We have our own problems to deal with

Damnnn niggar


Isoright

Sanity in the air

Russia is the most sanctioned nation on earth.

With almost 30,000 sanctions on it. And yet still growing and having budget surpluses back to back to back.

What would a couple more sanctions do that 30,000 sanctions couldn't do? Lmaooo.

Russia doesn’t even use the US dollars anymore, to begin with. So what exactly will Trump be sanctioning??

Russia sells it's oil, gas, uranium, steel in Rubles & Gold.

Trump second disaster shall be a failure

Mr Trump, I think Putin is smarter and he doesn't give a Bleep about any sanction if not he would have stop the war, what about people being killed in Gaza?

Nonsense! e go do worse Biden istration?

Hmmm.

Imagine what he has in mind for Naija for ing BRICS.

Not looking good for an economy battling inflationary pressures.

Putin will sign the deal

Because he want to impose sanctions on them they should now end the war.

you must be brain 🧠 DEAD if you think Putin would listen to Trump

Trump or the USA does not hold any leverage over Russia. He is not doing Russia any favors; instead, he is smearing Russia to make it appear weaker while portraying the USA as stronger. His smear campaigns are driven by the ongoing dedollarization efforts.

I taught the US sanctioned Russia, so what sanctions again. Its time to sends soldiers to Ukraine 🇺🇦 forget about this talk of sanctions.

Shouldn't this clown know by now that putin doesn't succumb to threats?

For the media


Certainly a call to Putin will carry a different tone

USA can target those that Russia does business with. And that's going to hurt... even China's economy will suffer if America decides to play rough ball with them. Or is it South Africa that can withstand Trump? None of the BRICS nations can challenge the USA.

Aswear

The man is not joking at all

And the fact that he now has more ers than he did back in 2016 has given him more balls to be calling the shots right now

It's time to Make America Great Again

Let them go ahead and see who will cry the most.

Because Russia does business with nearly every country. Can the US sanction half of the world?
