In a post on Truth Social, Trump addressed “all NATO nations, and the world” as he said that Washington was prepared to move forward with major sanctions on Russia but only if European partners halted purchases of Russian oil and joined in coordinated action.
“As you know, NATO’s commitment to win has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! Anyway, I am ready to ‘go’ when you are. Just say when?”, Trump wrote.
“NATO as a group should levy punitive tariffs on China, which has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia,” he added.

Trump reiterated that the conflict “would never have started if he were in charge from the outset.”
It is a “Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s war.”
Trump el;aborated, “I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives. If NATO does as I say, the war will end quickly… If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States.”
