Trump Expresses Anger at Putin as Ukraine Talks Make Little Progress – WSJ

President Trump threatened new economic penalties on Russia and said he was angered by Russian President Vladimir Putin s recent comments, escalating his rhetoric as talks have resulted in little progress toward a real cease-fire in Ukraine.  

On Friday, Putin called for interim governance in Ukraine under the auspices of the United Nations, which would essentially push out Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

On Sunday, Trump told NBC News those comments were unacceptable because they meant there wouldn t be a deal for a long time. You could say that I was very angry, pissed off, he said, when Putin started getting into Zelensky s credibility. He added that if Russia couldn t reach a deal, he would impose secondary tariffs.
