US EditionTrump considers imposing sanctions on Russia in coming days, WSJ reports
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump stated he is open to imposing additional sanctions against Russia after the recent missile and drone attacks in Ukraine resulted in numerous fatalities.
- This consideration emerged after Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke by phone last week, with Trump expressing frustration yet also privately fearing sanctions could disrupt peace talks.
- Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham, along with other bipartisan lawmakers, are urging Trump to support legislation that would impose severe penalties on Moscow, including extraordinarily high tariffs—up to 500%—targeted at nations continuing to purchase Russian energy resources.
- The sanctions bill, supported by more than 80 senators, would impose secondary sanctions and significantly escalate penalties on Moscow’s energy exports to pressure Russia amid its intensified attacks on Ukraine.
- Trump has not approved new sanctions and could still decide against them, reflecting his belief that threats might halt Russian aggression while preserving dialogue opportunities.
