Russia has responded to Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs. According to Reuters report, the Kremlin (President’s Office) said that there is nothing new in Trump’s threat to impose sanctions and tariffs on Russia.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump likes these methods. He certainly liked it, at least during his first presidency. He had imposed many sanctions on Russia in the first term also.
Peskov said that Putin had earlier also talked about stopping the war. But if war is to be stopped, Ukraine will have to be prepared for it. We are waiting for this initiative. The presidential spokesman said that Russia is ready for talks on equal terms.
Earlier, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, had said that before taking any next step, Russia would like to know what Trump wants to end the war.

Trump and Putin during the G20 summit in 2017.
Trump said – If the war is not stopped, we will impose more sanctions This reaction of Russia comes after the statement of US President Trump, in which he warned Russia that if Moscow does not reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, more sanctions will be imposed on it. Trump said that he would do a great favor to Russia and Putin by convincing them to end this war.
Trump wrote in a post on social media on Wednesday, “I am not thinking about harming Russia. I have always maintained good relations with President Putin. We should not forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War.”
After this, while answering the questions of the media, Trump said that the war should never have started in Ukraine, the situation here is terrible, millions of people are being killed. He said- If America had a capable President, this war would never have happened. If I were President, this would not happen.
Trump said – Putin is destroying Russia by not ending the war Trump said in a press conference after being sworn in on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is destroying Russia by not making a deal to end the war with Ukraine. He said that it looks like Russia is going to be in big trouble. They should compromise.
Zelensky told me he wants to make a deal. I don’t know whether Putin does this or not. He may not do this. But I think Putin should deal.
Trump said – 1 million Russian soldiers died, this is not the way to run the country Trump said that Russia is in big trouble. You look at their economy, look at their inflation rate. I got along very well with Putin. I hope he wants to make a deal to end the Ukraine war.
Trump had promised during the election campaign that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war the very next day after taking oath. When journalists asked Trump questions about this promise, he said – I still have half a day left (in a joking manner). Then he said he wanted to end it soon.
Trump said Putin thought he would conquer Ukraine in a week. But now it is about to enter the third year. This is not good at all. Putin will not be happy with this.
Trump said that he has data that about 1 million Russian soldiers have been killed in the war. And 7 lakh Ukrainian soldiers have died. Russia is big. They have more troops to lose but this is no way to run a country.
