US President Donald Trump has expressed his dissatisfaction with the statements made by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the insufficient authority of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In an interview with NBC News, Trump stated that if talks with Russia about ending the conflict in Ukraine fail, the US could impose a 25% tariff on all Russian oil entering the country. "This would mean that if you buy oil from Russia, you cannot do business in the USA," - emphasized Trump.
The President of the United States noted that Vladimir Putin is aware of his dissatisfaction: "Putin knows he's angry." However, Donald Trump added that he has a "very good relationship" with the Russian leader and anger can quickly dissipate if Putin takes the right actions. Trump also informed about plans to discuss the situation with Vladimir Putin in the coming week.
