‘I Believe Putin, Difficult To Deal with Ukraine’: US President Trump
At the White House, during a televised press conference US President Donald Trump said that he believes in Putin and that it is easier to deal with him and Russia, as compared to Zelenskyy-led Ukraine.
Trump said, “I believe him (Putin). I’m finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine and they don’t have the cards. It may be easier dealing with Russia.” On the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War, Trump said that he has always had a very good relationship with Putin, he wants to end the war, and that he is going to be very generous, which means a ‘lot of good things’.
Trump Threatens To Impose Large-Scale Sanctions on Russia
Trump’s statement about his trust in Putin comes hours following he said that he is considering imposing large-scale sanctions on Russia until Ukraine and Russia reach a ceasefire agreement and a peace deal is finalised to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, “Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale banking sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a ceasefire and final settlement agreement on peace is reached.”
