Trump demands Zelensky ‘make a deal’ to end Russia-Ukraine war, calls on Europe to immediately ‘stop buying Russian oil’

Donald Trump demands Europe and NATO stop Russian oil imports to cut funding for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and calls for stronger sanctions and tariffs.

  • On September 16, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to make a deal and called on Europe to immediately stop buying Russian oil.
  • Trump made this call amid the longstanding Russia-Ukraine war and deep animosity between Zelenskyy and Putin, criticizing Europe for weak sanctions and ongoing oil imports.
  • The European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, responded by proposing an accelerated phase-out of Russian energy purchases and preparing new sanctions targeting Russia’s crypto, banking, and energy sectors.
  • Trump threatened tougher sanctions once European allies fully cease Russian oil purchases and said, “They speak, but they have to stop buying oil from Russia,” emphasizing the urgency of ending the conflict.
  • This pressure signals potential intensified economic actions against Russia and indicates ongoing U.S. efforts to drive a negotiated resolution to the war through increased sanctions and diplomatic engagement.
