Trump threatened Putin to “Economic War” – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

US Preside Donald Trump announced Washington’s readiness to impose economic sanctions against Russia if Preside Vladimir Putin agreed with a ceasefire agreeme in the Ukrainian war.

Asked if Putin will face the consequences if Putin fails to agree with the ceasefire, Trump said: “What I have in mind is very serious, but I would like to be resolved.”

“We have economic sanctions,” he said. I’m talking about economic war because we are not going to eer a world war.

The US preside has refused to impose economic sanctions against Putin in his latest attempt to end the war for more than three years in Russia and Ukraine. Trump is looking for a bilateral visibility between Putin and Ukrainian Preside Walodimir Zelnski.

“It will not be an economic war,” Trump added at the White House cabinet meeting. Economic war is unpleasa and will be unpleasa to Russia and I have no ierest in it. Zelnsky is also the same.

Despite the slow progress of diplomatic negotiations, the US and European authorities are consulting on possible security guaraees, which may provide Washington (guaraees) for Kiev after reaching a hypothetical agreeme, including air support or ielligence cooperation.

Trump has long used economic tools as leverage to pressure the couries involved in the war, and is ready to impose an additional 5 % tariff against Indian exports to the US over the purchase of Moscow oil by Delhi.

India is one of the largest Russian oil consumers. Trump said yesterday that it is ready to use a very powerful tariff mechanism that would be very costly for both Russia and Ukraine.
