Trump warns 25 percent US tariffs of Russian oil and asks Putin to stop bloodshed in Ukraine in tense diplomatic conflict.
US President Donald Trump has “P **** D OFF” in his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and threatens to impose secondary sanctions on Russian oil if Moscow does not agree with the ceasefire to end the war in Ukraine.
“If Russia and I are unable to stop bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russian fault – what it might not be – but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I will bring secondary tariffs on the entire oil that comes from Russia, Trump”, but Trump will be secondary to preserve ” Trump will set up secondary tariffs “if I think it’s Russia” told in an interview with NBC on Sunday.
Trump said 25 percent tariffs could be done at any time and added that he wanted to speak to Putin this week.
According to the report, Trump was “angry and P **** D” when the Russian president began to question the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and to discuss the prospect of a new leadership in Ukraine.
On Thursday, Putin suggested that a temporary administration under the supervision of the United Nations should be introduced in Ukraine-a proposal, which was quickly rejected by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Russian officials have repeatedly discredited Zelenskyy’s legitimacy as President and found that no elections have been held since his term.
No vote is planned in Ukraine, since the state’s constitution stipulates that elections cannot be held after the war law after the start of Russia invasion in his neighboring country.
There was no immediate reaction from Moscow to Trump’s comments. Russia has described numerous western sanctions and restrictions as “illegal” and designed it for the West to use the economic advantages in its rivalry with Russia.
Trump’s recent statements followed a day full of meetings and Gulf with Finnish President Alexander Stubb over the weekend.
Stubb’s office said that he had announced Trump that a deadline for setting up an armistice in Russia-Ukraine had to be determined to achieve this and proposed on April 20, since Trump had been in office for three months.
US officials have pushed Kyiv separately to accept a critical mineral agreement, the summary of which indicates that the United States is calling for the entire natural resource income of Ukraine for years. Zelenskyy said The Kyiv lawyers had to check the draft Before he can say more about the offer.
Trump imposed a 25 percent secondary tariff for US imports from every country that bought oil or gas from Venezuela.
His comments on Sunday indicate that he could take similar measures against US imports from countries that buy oil from Russia, a step that could take China and India particularly hard.
Trump said Putin knows that he is angry with him, but added that he had “a very good relationship with him” and “the trouble quickly dissolves … if he does the right thing”.
