After trying to negotiate the ceasefire in Ukraine, Donald Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “very angry” and “angry”.
In a NBC news interview, US President said that he was angry that he was angry that he was angry that he was attacking the reliability of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and threatened to apply 50% tariff to countries that buy Russian oil if he did not accept cease -fire.
“Russia and I can’t make a deal to stop blood loss in Ukraine and if I think it’s a mistake of Russia – this may not be … I will put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia,” he said.
Comments show a change towards Putin and Russia in Trump’s tone.
The White House did not respond immediately to the request for comments.
European leaders worried that Trump was stuck in Putin as the negotiations in Ukraine continued.
For the last six weeks, Trump took Zelensky to Harguue in Oval Office and asked for many concessions from the Ukrainian president. On the other hand, Putin proud and was largely given to the demands of the Russian President.
It seems like a departure of this dynamic. The US threatened Russia seriously for the first time, which seems to be returning the diplomatic ball to the Moscow court.
In a 10 -minute phone call, NBC News said that when Putin criticized the reliability of Zelensky’s leadership, he was very angry and “angry”, but he called the leader of Ukraine as a dictator and asked him to make an election.
“You can say I’m very angry, I’m angry, … When Putin begins to get into the reliability of Zelensky, because he doesn’t go right.” He said.
“The new leadership means that you will not have an agreement for a long time,” he added.
Trump said that he knew the anger of the Russians, but that he had a “very good relationship with Putin, and” anger is quickly dispersed … If he does the right thing. “
If Russia did not follow a ceasefire, Trump threatened to target his economy if he thought it was a mistake.
“There will be 25% tariff on Petroleum and other products sold in the United States, secondary tariffs, Tr Trump said, Russia’s tariffs will come within a month without a cease -fire agreement.
Secondary tariffs can be up to 50% of the countries that still buy oil from Russia in goods entering the United States. The biggest recipients of a long difference are China and India.
Trump said he would talk to Putin later in the week.
