The US President addressed all NATO countries.

US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to impose serious sanctions on Russia, but has set two conditions: NATO countries must do the same, and they must stop buying oil from Russia. This is stated in the “Letter sent by President Donald J. Trump to all NATO countries and the world,” posted on the social network Truth Social .

“I am ready to impose serious sanctions on Russia when all NATO countries agree and begin to do the same, and also when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia,” the head of the White House wrote.

According to him, “the purchase of Russian oil by some countries” significantly weakens “their negotiating position and influence over Russia.”

“In any case, I’m ready to act when you’re ready. Just tell me when?” the US president asked.Read also:

He stressed that NATO at the Alliance level should also introduce tariffs against China in the amount of 50-100%, which “will be completely canceled after the end of Russia’s war against Ukraine.” In his opinion, this “will significantly help to end this deadly but absurd war.”

“China has strong control and even influence over Russia, and these powerful tariffs will break that influence. This is not Trump’s war (it would never have started if I were president!), it’s Biden’s (former US President Joe Biden, – ed. ) and Zelensky’s (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, – ed. ) war. I’m only here to help stop it and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives (7,118 lives lost last week alone. Crazy!),” Trump’s post reads.

The US President assured that if NATO does as he says, “the war will end quickly, and all these lives will be saved”:

“If not, you are simply wasting my time, as well as the time, energy, and money of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this issue!”

  1. The only two NATO countries buying russian oil are your pro russian buddies. Once again TACO is talking about saving lives, not condemning deliberate attacks on civilians by his idol.

    • They got the green light now to continue buying Russian gas and oil………….(Otherwise it will hurt their Russian friendship..) and they are, like America against new sanctions against Russia……….

  2. “when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia,”

    He knows that’s not going to happen, so that’s just an excuse to explain his failure to impose sanctions on his boyfriend, putler.
