Trump Vows to Reimpose US Sanctions on Russian Crude Soon

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has warned that sanctions on crude oil exports from Russia could be reimposed soon. He indicated that it is time to increase pressure on Russia as the global energy supply situation has stabilized after the ceasefire with Iran.

Speaking on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in France, Trump said, 'Now that oil supply is flowing normally, we will be able to reimpose sanctions soon.'

He claimed that concerns about market supply have decreased since oil supply resumed from the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, the US had granted temporary exemptions for Russian oil transport at sea in some cases. But now Trump has indicated that these exemptions will be removed and strict sanctions will be imposed.

Oil and gas revenue is considered the main source of Russia's war expenditure. The G-7 countries are also discussing taking further strict action targeting Russia's energy revenue.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the G-7 leaders are united in their support for Ukraine. He claimed that Ukraine is ready for talks, accusing Russia of not showing a real will for peace.

Meanwhile, some European countries have been demanding stricter sanctions on Russia.
