WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened Russia “and other participating countries” with taxes, tariffs and sanctions if a deal to end the war in Ukraine is not struck soon.
Without a deal, Trump said in a post on Truth Social, “I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.”
Trump did not identify the countries that he considered to be participants.
