Donald Trump: US President Donald Trump is once again furious. On Sunday, he got angry at the countries doing business with Russia and warned of imposing more stringent penalties. At the same time, it was also hinted that Iran will soon be blacklisted.
Speaking to reporters at Palm Beach International Airport, Trump said that his Republican Party lawmakers are drafting legislation to impose sanctions on countries that have trade relations with Moscow. He said, very harsh sanctions will be imposed on any country doing business with Russia. I have suggested to include Iran also in this. Meanwhile, Trump imposed sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil. Under this, all the assets of Rosneft and Lukoil in America have been confiscated and American citizens have also been banned from doing any kind of financial transactions with these companies.
Despite increasing pressure from America, Russian President Vladimir Putin is adamant on not ending the war with Ukraine. Putin had said last month, “No self-respecting country and no self-respecting person takes any decision under pressure.” He warned that US sanctions could lead to a surge in global oil prices, which would have an adverse impact on Washington.
