Trump Warns Sanctions Possible After Russian Strike on US Factory in Ukraine

President Donald Trump said Friday he is "not happy" about the Russian drone and missile strike that largely destroyed an American-owned factory in the western Ukrainian city of Mukachevo overnight Aug. 20-21, adding that the incident underscores his broader dissatisfaction with the war. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he will decide "over the next two weeks" whether to respond with new sanctions, sizable tariffs, or no additional measures. The president met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday, but acknowledged that bringing the pair together is "like mixing oil and vinegar." Repeating his frustration with the conflict, Trump said he is "not happy about anything to do with that war" and asserted he has already resolved seven conflicts—"ten, if you count pre-wars"—since taking office. He gave no further details on the conflicts he referenced.
