President @realDonaldTrump: In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs... But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures... they have to immediately cease ALL energy purchases from Russia.

China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil, but inexcusably even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which as you know I found out about two weeks ago and I wasn't happy. Think of it, they're funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one? In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs which would stop the bloodshed I believe very quickly but for those tariffs to be effective European nations all of you are gathered here right now would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures. I mean you're much closer to the city we have an ocean in between you're right there and Europe has to step it up they can't be doing what they're doing they're buying oil and gas from Russia while they're fighting Russia. It's embarrassing to them and it was very embarrassing to them when I found out about it I can tell you that they have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia otherwise we're all wasting a lot of time so I'm ready to discuss this we're going to discuss it today with the European nations all gathered here sure they're thrilled to hear me speak about it but that's the way it is I like to speak my mind and speak the truth
