U.S. President Donald Trump stated that his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin is diminishing rapidly and expressed frustration over the ongoing Ukraine war.

While stopping short of threatening new sanctions, Trump indicated that strong measures, including sanctions on banks and oil, along with tariffs, are options.

He emphasized the need for European countries to participate in such actions, noting that he had previously taken significant steps, such as imposing a 50% tariff on Indian exports to the U.S. He also characterized the issue as primarily a European concern.
