Trump tells NATO members they need to cut off Russia energy purchases before he will take bigger steps to isolate Russia over its war in Ukraine.

Trump also urged NATO countries to impose “50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA,” which he said should be withdrawn after the Russia-Ukraine war has concluded.

President Trump says he believes Russia's war against Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and placed tariffs on China of 50% to 100% for its purchases of Russian petroleum.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. is prepared to impose fresh energy sanctions on Russia, but only if all NATO nations cease purchasing Russian oil and implement similar measures.

Trump has said existing sanctions on Russia are not tough enough to stop the war in Ukraine, urging Europe to halt Russian oil imports and align its measures with Washington’s pressure.

US President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that the purchasing of Russian oil by some NATO allies was "shocking", and said it "greatly weakens" NATO's negotiating position and bargaining power over Russia.

President Trump attempted to give Vladimir Putin another pass after Russia sent drones deep into Polish territory. The incident comes a week after Donald Trump met with Polish President Karol Nawrocki at the White House.

Poland said there 19 Russian drones entered its airspace early on Wednesday. After the drones were shot down with NATO assistance, leaders across Europe condemned the incident.
