It was reported in this afternoon's New York Post that Trump would call for sanctions to get Putin to the negotiating table. He took to Truth Social on Wednesday to double-down on his criticisms of Putin and Russia’s hurting economy, warning Moscow that things would only get worse if the war doesn’t end soon.
“Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” Trump urged.
“If we don’t make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries,” he wrote.
He has already had discussions with Zelensky and said the aid stops now. It would behoove Putin to have the will to save face.
“We hear the statements from Trump and members of his team about their desire to restore direct contact with Russia, which were halted through no fault of ours by the outgoing administration,” Putin said during Trump’s inauguration.
“We also hear his statements about the need to do everything to prevent World War III. We certainly welcome such an approach and congratulate the U.S. president-elect on taking office,” he added.
Okay, Vladimir. It is time to prove that you are ready to step up and make the deal. While the opportunity is right there for all to see.
Otherwise, the clock will tick down to zero and you will have destroyed your economy with taxes and sanctions ready to be imposed.
