BREAKING:”Trump Vows Harsh Sanctions Against Russia If Peace Talks Fail” The Sanction will be..Read more…

President Donald Trump on Friday, after decrying Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine and threatening sanctions until it stopped attacking, also said he thought Vladimir Putin would be “generous” in peace talks and described Ukraine as “difficult.”

Answering questions from reporters in the Oval Office, Trump, while repeating that sanctions threat he posted earlier in the day, had positive words about the Russian president.

“He wants to end the war and once ended, and I think he’s going to be more generous than he has to be. And that’s pretty good,” Trump said.

Asked whether he still believed Putin when he told him he wanted peace, Trump replied he did.

“Yeah. No, I believe him, I believe him. I think we’re doing very well with Russia,” he said. “But right now, they’re bombing the hell out of Ukraine and Ukraine. I’m — I’m finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine. They don’t have the cards.”

Hours earlier, after Russian forces launched missiles and drones into Ukraine, Trump on Friday threatened Russia with sanctions and tariffs until it negotiated a ceasefire and peace deal.

“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday morning without further details.
