REPORTER: "There's no action [on Russia] since you took your office..."@POTUS: "Would you say that putting secondary sanctions on India... That cost hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia. You call that no action? And I haven't done phase two yet or phase three." pic.twitter.com/K8HAH9VyVu

When a Polish reporter asked Trump why he had repeatedly expressed disappointment with Putin but taken no action.
How do you know there was no action? Would you say that imposing secondary sanctions on India, the largest buyer outside of China, is no action? It's costing Russia hundreds of billions of dollars. And I haven't finished phase two or phase three yet. But when you say there was no action, I think you should find yourself a new job. Because if you remember, two weeks ago I did that. I said if India buys, India will have big problems. And that's exactly what happened. So don't tell me about that.
