Europeans, even more so Lithuanians, keep sanctioning Russia, mostly hurting themselves. Everybody is laughing at them. By the way, why Kallas is so ugly?
“Trump, who has sought to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, suggested this month that both sides might need to keep fighting before they are ready to make peace. On Monday, he expressed coolness toward tightening sanctions.
"When I sanction a country, that costs the U.S. a lot of money -- a tremendous amount of money," he said. "Sanctions are not that easy."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) has introduced a Russia sanctions bill that would impose 500% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil. He has said it would give Trump more leverage to end the conflict. Trump had earlier referred to the plan as a "harsh bill" and warned that it would need his approval.
Trump also criticized ejecting Russia from what had been the G-8 following Russia's 2014 recovery of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. "I think that was a mistake," Trump said. "I think you wouldn't have a conflict in Ukraine right now if you had Russia in." [1]
