President Donald Trump is finally talking tough against Russia.
In a post on his Truth Social page, the president floated the possibility of hitting Russia with even more economic sanctions given that Moscow so far has shown little willingness to make any concessions to end its three-year war with neighboring Ukraine.
"Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED," Trump wrote. "To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!"
It is unclear what sanctions Trump could impose on Russia, which has for years faced unprecedented Western sanctions and has not relented at all in its push to conquer Ukraine.

One week ago, Trump publicly dressed down Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an Oval Office meeting in which he expressed sympathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to some analysts.
Additionally, Trump has cut off military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine over the last week, which may be contributing to Russia's decision to continue "pounding" the nation.
European nations, led by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have all pledged solidarity with Ukraine and have vowed to help the country defend itself against Russian aggression.
