US president Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he probably impose additional sanctions on Russia. He besides said that he was considering whether to proceed sending arms to Ukraine and added that he was ready to meet Vladimir Putin whenever the Russian president wanted.
USA. Donald Trump plans further sanctions
– Sounds likely – Trump said, answering the question whether he intends to impose additional sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin refuses to negociate to end the war in Ukraine.
SEE: They're already in Ukraine. They're the ones Russia is very afraid of.
When asked about Further military support for UkraineTrump replied that he “checks it”.
– We are talking to Zelenski, we will be talking to president Putin shortly and we will see how it will turn out," he said.
He stated that although the president of Ukraine ‘strongly’ declares that he is ready to negotiationsIt doesn't know if the same thing can be said about Putin. However, he added that Russia should care about peace due to the fact that it bears big losses. He mentioned in this context the number of 800,000 soldiers (on Monday he talked about a million) and 600-700 1000 on the Ukrainian side (on Monday he spoke about 600,000). "I think he destroys Russia without an agreement," he said in the context of Vladimir Putin.
Trump one more time said that The U.S. spent besides much to aid Ukraine in comparison to Europe claiming – contrary to the available data – that they spent $200 billion more on this purpose. He again stated that the threshold for defence spending of NATO countries should not be 2% of GDP, but 5% of GDP. Poland as 1 of the fewer countries that spent more than 2% required in his word of office.
The EU treats the US "very badly"
The fresh president besides said he was talking about wars in Ukraine during a fresh telephone call with China leader Xi Jinping.
– I told him, "You should end this." due to the fact that he didn't do much about it – Trump reported.
SEE: Zelenski indicated how much NATO countries should pay. He supported Trump in this.
Trump re-imposed his threat of imposition customs duties on imports from China, Mexico and Canada, adding that he intends to do so on 1 February. As he pointed out, denying the "Wall Street Journal" reports on the subject, the threat had nothing to do with his intention to renegotiate the USMCA trade agreement (USA, Mexico Canada), but it has to do with illegal immigration and the smuggling of fentanyl.
In this context Trump again criticised the European Unionwho, in his opinion, treats America "very badly".
