NEW: Washington announces sanctions against the Russian oil groups Rosneft and Lukoil.

Trump posts about the new Russian sanctions.

BREAKING: Trump:

I canceled my meeting with Putin.

It did not feel right.

We will do it in the future.

Trump on sanctioning Russia:

I felt it was time. We waited a long time.

Trump on Tomahawks:

It takes a minimum of 6 months to learn how to use Tomahawks.

The only way is if we shoot it, we are not going to do that.

Trump on his boat attacks:

They will be coming in by land a little bit more, we will hit them very hard when they come in by land.

We are totally prepared to that.

Trump:

Everytime I speak with Vladimir, I have good conversations, then they don't go anywhere.

Trump:

Hopefully Putin will become reasonable and hopefully Zelensky will be reasonable, too.

It takes two to tango.

Trump:

Ukraine is not using our missiles, they are using European missiles. I don't control that.

I control our missiles and they are not shooting our missiles.

Trump on Colombian President Petro:

He is a thug, he is making a lot of drugs.

They have cocaine factories.

He better watch it or we will take very serious action against him and his country.

Trump:

Putin mentioned to me about nuclear, where we do a "de-escalation."

I am fine with that, I think it is good.

Trump:

We have the most nukes, Russia is second, China is third by a long way but they will be even within 4-5 years.

Too many, we are talking about de-escalation and I think we will add China into it.

Trump:

We are not selling any weapons to Ukraine, we are selling them to NATO.

Trump:

I always felt Putin wanted the whole thing, not a piece of it.

I think he is willing to negotiate now.

We don't want him to have the whole thing.

Trump has told allies he thinks Democrat Zohran Mamdani is unbeatable in the New York mayor’s race, saying Republican Curtis Sliwa and independent Andrew Cuomo have little chance to catch up.

US Senator Fetterman:

I’m always going to vote whatever supports Israel.

The EU approved its 19th sanctions package against Russia, featuring a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports—the first such measure.

The ban will phase in, ending short-term contracts within six months and long-term ones by January 2027, a year earlier than planned.

Russia's Medvedev:

The USA is our enemy, and their talkative "peacemaker" has now fully taken up the path of war with Russia.

Trump has fully aligned himself with the insane Europe.

Sudan: Army expanded air operations in El Geneina against the rebel RSF militia.
