US President Donald Trump has said he is “very angry” and “pissed off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin after six weeks of attempting to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine.
In an NBC News interview, he said he was angered by the Russian leader questioning Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s credibility, and he threatened to impose a 50% tariff on countries buying Russian oil if Putin did not agree to a ceasefire.
“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault – which it might not be… I am going to put secondary tariffs… on all oil coming out of Russia,” he said.
The comments marked a notable shift in the president’s tone toward Putin and Russia.
European leaders had worried that Trump was cosying up to Putin as negotiations on a ceasefire in Ukraine continued.
