President Donald Trump said he¡¯s ¡°pissed off¡± at Russian President Vladimir Putin and would consider ¡°secondary tariffs¡± on Russian oil if a ceasefire with Ukraine can¡¯t be reached, NBC News reported.
Trump said he was ¡°very angry¡± about Putin¡¯s recent comments suggesting ways to install new leadership in Ukraine and sideline President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, NBC reported, citing a phone interview with Trump on Sunday. New leadership in Ukraine means ¡°you¡¯re not going to have a deal for a long time, right,¡± he said.
¡°I was pissed off about it. But if a deal isn¡¯t made, and if I think it was Russia¡¯s fault, I¡¯m going to put secondary sanctions on Russia,¡± Trump told NBC, saying he meant ¡°all oil coming out of Russia.¡± He said he plans to speak to Putin this week.
