The US president said further action in the form of sanctions and tariffs now dependent on the outcome of talks with his Russian counterpart
The US president Donald Trump’s original deadline for Russia to move on ending its invasion of Ukraine ends today.
Asked if he was ready to follow through on his threats of sanctions and secondary tariffs, Trump told reporters last night:
It’s going to be up to him. We’re going to see what he has to say.
He then added he was “very disappointed” in Putin, but – in an apparent concession to the Kremlin – said he would be ready to meet the Russian leader, regardless of whether he meets with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
