Trump considers imposing sanctions on Russia in coming days, WSJ reports
- President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would consider new sanctions on Russia following its weekend missile and drone bombardment in Ukraine that caused many deaths.
- Trump's consideration follows weeks of drafted options amid frustration at Vladimir Putin's aerial assault, but he has not yet approved measures and could still decide against them.
- Over 80 senators from both parties, including Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Republican Lindsey Graham, are urging President Trump to enforce stringent sanctions on Russia, which would entail secondary penalties such as imposing extremely high tariffs—up to 500%—on nations that continue to import Russian energy.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio conveyed that Trump believes threatening sanctions could stop Russian talks but also values diplomacy to drive Russia to the negotiating table, while French President Emmanuel Macron called Putin's peace claims lies.
- The situation suggests Trump balances pressure for stronger sanctions on Moscow with concerns that new penalties might hinder fragile peace efforts amid ongoing war and intensified attacks in Ukraine's third year.
