Russia will not face restrictions alone if no progress in settling the conflict is made, the US president has warned

Washington could impose sanctions and tariffs on both Russia and Ukraine if the two adversaries fail to make progress in settling hostilities, US President Donald Trump has said.

Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House on Tuesday. The US president said that it "takes two to tango," suggesting that Ukraine's leader, Vladimir Zelensky, "was not exactly innocent" as far as the lack of progress in ending the conflict.

"Thousands of young people, mostly young people, are dying every single week. If I can save that, by doing sanctions or by just being me, or by using a very strong tariff system that's very costly to Russia or Ukraine or whoever we have," Trump stated.

He also reiterated his readiness to slap new restrictions on Moscow. "We want to have an end. We have economic sanctions. I'm talking about economic because we're not going to get into a world war," he said.
