Trump considers imposing sanctions on Russia in coming days, WSJ reports
- President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would consider imposing new sanctions on Russia following its weekend aerial assault on Ukraine.
- This consideration follows a surge in missile and drone bombardments that killed many and frustrated Trump, who recently spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone.
- Democratic and Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, pushed a bipartisan bill proposing crippling sanctions with secondary measures such as 500% tariffs on Russian energy purchasers.
- More than 80 senators support the bill, though Trump has not approved new sanctions and expressed concern that harsher measures could hinder peace talks, valuing dialogue with Russia despite his public criticism of Putin's actions.
- The developments suggest possible U.S. escalation against Russia, but uncertainty remains as Trump might still decide against applying new sanctions amid efforts to balance pressure with diplomatic engagement.
