President Trump said he “didn’t feel like” meeting with Russian President Putin so the meeting has been canceled. He said he may feel like it on some future date though.
President Trump said this while meeting with NATO head Mark Rutte in the White House on Wednesday. Following that meeting, both the U.S. and the European Union announced new sanctions against Russia.
The European Union announced its 19th sanctions package against Russia and the U.S. announced a sanction on Russian oil due to “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine.”
The U.S. is funding the war but Russia is the one who lacks commitment to peace? Okay.
The sanctions will focus on oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil. Which sounds tough but the U.S. doesn’t buy Russian oil so it is mostly symbolic.
What will Russia do about this? What they’ve been doing all along: They will ignore the bloviating Western politicians and keep winning the war in Ukraine.
