President Donald Trump has called on European allies to strengthen sanctions and stop purchasing oil from Russia to match U.S. pressure over the Ukraine conflict. He noted that negotiations remain difficult due to the animosity between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump criticized Europe’s sanctions as “not tough enough.” His remarks came after the U.S. imposed steep tariffs — 50% on India and an additional 25% penalty for continuing to buy Russian oil.
