Prehistory:
- On September 13, Trump wrote on his social network Truth Socal that he is ready to impose serious sanctions against Russia if all NATO countries do and if they stop buying Russian oil.
- Before that, he once again stated that his patience about the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin was “exhausted”.
- Trump accused Europeans of a lack of stiff position on Russia, saying that they only “say, not work.” He stressed that the further introduction of US sanctions depends on whether Europe will strengthen its own restrictive measures and stop buying Russian energy.
