Trump: I am very angry at Putin and may impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil.
On March 30, NBC News reported that Russian President Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Zelensky's leadership, which made Trump feel "very angry" and "frustrated," saying that these remarks "missed the point."
AFP reported that on Friday, Putin called on Ukraine to establish a transitional government, which could effectively remove Zelenskyy.
In a phone call with reporters, Trump expressed that he was "very angry, very upset" when Putin started questioning Zelensky's credibility and discussing new leadership in Ukraine.
On Sunday, Trump told NBC News: "If Russia and I cannot reach an agreement to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it's Russia's fault—maybe not, but if I think it's Russia's fault—I will impose secondary tariffs on all oil exported from Russia."
Trump said, "That means if you buy oil from Russia, you can't do business in the United States. All oil will be subject to a 25% tariff, and all oil will be subject to a 25 to 50 percentage point tariff."
Trump stated: "The United States will impose a 25% tariff on oil and other products, which is a secondary tariff." He noted that if no ceasefire agreement is reached, the tariffs on Russia would be implemented within a month. Trump said that Putin knows he is angry. However, Trump added that his relationship with Putin is very good, "and if he does the right thing, the anger will quickly dissipate."
Trump stated that the two plan to speak again this week.
