US President Donald Trump has announced that he is ready to move to a second phase of sanctions against Russia.

Axar.az informs that Reuters reported this.

The statement said that this statement indicates that he is closer to strengthening sanctions against buyers of Russian oil and shows his dissatisfaction with the war in Ukraine.

The article says that although Trump has repeatedly threatened Moscow with additional sanctions, he has not applied them to continue negotiations. Recent statements indicate a more aggressive position, but Trump has not yet said whether he is fully committed to such a decision or what this second phase will include.

The article also noted that Trump is dissatisfied with his failure to stop the fighting in Ukraine. However, when he took office in January, he predicted that he would end the war quickly.
