Trump Threatens Secondary Sanctions on Russia Unless Deal Is Reached

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on 28 July he is prepared to impose secondary sanctions on Russia unless an unspecified deal is reached, telling reporters, “We might make a deal, you don’t know.” He added that future measures would depend on how the situation between Russia and Ukraine evolves. Trump’s latest comments build on remarks he made on 15 July, when he said he would “see what happens with President Putin.” He offered no details on the potential scope or targets of any secondary sanctions or the terms of the proposed deal.
