💬 “I don't want to go secondary tariffs on his oil. But I think, you know, it's something I would do if I thought he wasn't doing the job. I did it with Venezuela,” US President Donald Trump said, commenting on possible additional sanctions against Russia.

Not with kindness, but malice and the groundless tightening of tariffs.”
