Trump revealed part of his plan for Russia
According to the head of the White House, only one person can end Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine — him.
There can't be a meeting without me, because in my opinion, the deal won't happen without me. I have a very good relationship with Putin. I think we will reach an agreement.

According to the American leader, if diplomatic efforts fail, he is ready to resort to radically increasing economic pressure on Russia.
First of all, it is about imposing sanctions on oil and those who buy it. As you know, this is exactly the idea recently proposed by Senator Lindsey Graham.
Trump emphasized that this is an extreme measure, but he may resort to it.
"I will use it if necessary. But I wouldn't want to. If we don't make a deal, I will. It will destroy Russia because they have economic problems. Oil prices are low. This will change the situation," the US president believes.
