US President Donald Trump Considers Sanctions, Tariffs On Russia To End Ukraine War

Washington: US President Donald Trump on Friday said he is "strongly considering" sanctions and tariffs on Russia in hopes of forcing a settlement to the war in Ukraine.

He said in a post on Truth Social that they could remain in place "until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED."

The post came as Trump faces criticism for increasing pressure on Ukraine to reach a deal while downplaying or even denying Russia's responsibility for starting the war with its invasion three years ago.

"To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late," Trump added.
