US President Donald Trump said in an interview that he is angry with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on Russian oil if Putin does not cooperate in ending the war with Ukraine.
I was very angry: Trump
Trump said that when Putin started questioning Zelensky's credibility, I was very angry because this was not happening in the right direction. In an interview with Meet the Press host Welker, Trump said that Russia wants new leadership in Ukraine. But new leadership means that you will not be able to make any agreement for a long time.
Russia to impose tariffs on oil
According to a CNN report, Trump has threatened that secondary tariffs can be imposed on Russia if an agreement is not reached. The US President said that if Russia and I are unable to reach an agreement to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine, if I think this has happened due to Russia's fault, then I will impose secondary tariffs on all oil coming from Russia.
Trump is ready to talk to Putin
When he was asked if he would talk to Putin if Russia did the right thing, Trump replied in the affirmative. Trump told host Welker that Putin knows that I am angry. The announcement of 25 percent tariff can be made at any time. I am planning to talk to Putin this week. Russia has not yet given any reaction to Trump's statement. But it has termed the sanctions of Western countries as illegal many times.
Russia does not recognize Zelensky's legitimacy
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday suggested that a new temporary administration should be introduced in Ukraine under the supervision of the United Nations. However, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres immediately rejected Russia's proposal. Russian officials have repeatedly questioned Zelensky's legitimacy. Russia says Zelensky's term has ended. No elections have been held yet
Russia attacked Ukraine three years ago. Martial law has been in force there since then. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, there is a provision for not holding elections during martial law.
May have impact on India and China
A few days ago, Trump had announced a 25 percent tariff on US imports of oil and gas from Venezuela. Now, similar action is being planned against countries buying oil from Russia. If Trump announces tariffs on Russian oil, the interests of India and China may suffer the most. India is currently the biggest buyer of Russian oil.
