US President Donald Trump called on Russia to stop the war against Ukraine, otherwise Washington will impose “heavy sanctions and taxes” on Russian goods.
Trump stated this in a message published today, January 22, on his social network TruthSocial, Voice of America reports.
In his address to Russians and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Trump noted that he “does not want to harm Russia,” “loves the Russian people,” and emphasized that Russia “helped us win World War II, losing almost 60 million lives during it.” .
Given all this, I am going to do Russia, whose economy is collapsing, and President Putin a very big favor,” Trump said.
Calm down now and stop this ridiculous war! It will only get worse. “If we don’t reach an ‘agreement,’ I will soon have no choice but to impose high taxes, tariffs and sanctions on everything Russia sells to the United States and on the many other countries involved,” he said.
Trump once again said that the war would not have started if he had been president:
Let’s end this war that would never have started if I were president! We can do it the easy way or the hard way – and the easy way is always better. It’s time to “make the deal.” No more lives must be lost!
