Trump Reportedly Considers Slapping Sanctions On Kremlin With Ukraine Peace Talks At Impasse

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering new sanctions against Russia as President Vladimir Putin appears to be stalling Ukraine peace negotiations, people familiar with Trump’s thinking told The Wall Street Journal.

Trump has expressed growing frustration with Putin as the Kremlin continues to pound Ukraine with attacks despite efforts from the U.S. to broker peace, and the president is reportedly thinking about using more economic measures to pressure Russia, an unknown number of sources told the WSJ. Russia, despite multipleattempts by the U.S. to broker a peace deal, has continued its slow offensive into Ukrainian territory and launched a massive wave of drone and missile attacks over the weekend.

“This war is Joe Biden’s fault, and President Trump has been clear he wants to see a negotiated peace deal,” Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation
