Trump is keeping all options open, he said.

The possibility of introducing new tough American sanctions against Russia still remains, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

“Look, President Trump is keeping all options open – both sanctions and tariffs – to stop this horrible war in Russia. President Trump is the president of peace. He wants this horrible conflict to end. And tariffs against China may be on the table at some point,” Bessent said.

It is worth recalling that today Donald Trump’s ultimatum expired, after which he promised to impose sanctions against Russia and its trade partners. However, due to the change in agenda that occurred due to the announcement of Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin, sanctions were no longer mentioned today.

  1. I can’t say I’m disappointed, because I never expected anything less from TACO. I did say the other day that TACO will use this meeting with the mafia boss to postpone any sanctions.
