President Trump reupped his call for NATO members to stop buying Russian oil amid a wider sanctions push<\/a> in hopes of forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the war in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president said Saturday morning he is \u201cready\u201d to impose \u201cmajor\u201d sanctions on Russia when other NATO nations do the same \u2014 and when all of them halt their purchases of Moscow\u2019s oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, NATO\u2019S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100 percent, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia,\u201d the president wrote<\/a> on Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway, I am ready to \u2018go\u2019 when you are. Just say when? I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50 percent to 100 percent TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump indicated in a Friday “Fox and Friends” interview that his patience with the Russian leader is “running out fast.” <\/p>\n

Also on Friday, Canada hosted a meeting of G7 finance ministers. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated Trump\u2019s call for G7 nations to slap tariffs on countries buying Russian oil if they are \u201ctruly committed\u201d to ending the three-and-a-half-year conflict in Eastern Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer also welcomed \u201ccommitments\u201d to increase sanctions pressure and \u201cexplore using immobilized Russian sovereign assets to further benefit Ukraine\u2019s defense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Only with a unified effort that cuts off the revenues funding Putin\u2019s war machine at the source will we be able to apply sufficient economic pressure to end the senseless killing,” Bessent and Greer said in a joint statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“Thanks to President Trump\u2019s bold leadership, the United States has already taken dramatic action against the purchasers of Russian oil,\u201d the two officials added. \u201cWe are encouraged by the assurances of our fellow G7 nations that they are committed to ending this war, and we are hopeful that they will join us in taking decisive action at this critical time.”<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s push for cutting oil purchases and sanctions talks comes as the deadline for a potential meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has passed. <\/p>\n

Russia has shown no signs of slowing down its military operation, continuing to shell Ukraine with aerial attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin said on Friday that negotiations with Ukraine are on \u201cpause,\u201d less than a month after Trump met with Putin<\/a> in Alaska. <\/p>\n

Trump said Saturday morning that China has a strong grip over Russia and that tariffs will \u201cbreak that grip.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not TRUMP\u2019S WAR (it would never have\u00a0started if I was President!), it is [former President] Biden\u2019s and Zelenskyy\u2019s WAR. I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives (7,118 lives lost last week, alone. CRAZY!),\u201d the president wrote. \u201cIf NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

GOP senators are urging Trump to allow a vote on a Russia sanctions package after the Kremlin\u2019s incursion<\/a> into Polish airspace this week, a strong escalation. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s time for the sanctions bill to come to the floor,\u201d Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va<\/a>.) told<\/a> The Hill this week. \u201cI think the president\u2019s got to make the final call on that, so I respect that, but I\u2019m ready to vote for that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
