Trump Considers Imposing Sweeping Sanctions on Russia
(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has authorized the delivery of additional defensive weapons to Ukraine amid ongoing conflict. Speaking during a White House cabinet meeting, Trump confirmed, “We're sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I've approved that.”
Expressing clear frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump stated, “I'm not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now,” while highlighting the severe human toll of the conflict, noting that soldiers from both Russia and Ukraine are dying in the thousands.
In addition to military aid, Trump revealed he is weighing whether to back a bipartisan Senate bill proposing extensive sanctions against Russia. The measure aims to escalate economic pressure on Moscow in response to its actions in Ukraine, signaling a potential shift toward tougher U.S. policies.
