U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would likely impose sanctions on Russia if its president, Vladimir Putin, refuses to negotiate about ending the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Trump gave no details on possible additional sanctions. The United States has already sanctioned Russia heavily for its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n
Trump said his administration was also looking at the issue of sending weapons to Ukraine, adding his view that the European Union should be doing more to support Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re talking to (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskiy, we\u2019re going to be talking with President Putin very soon,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump said he had pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping in a call to intervene to stop the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not done very much on that. He\u2019s got a lot of … power, like we have a lot of power. I said, \u2018You ought to get it settled.\u2019 We did discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n
