Trump referred to the Ukrainian operation “Spider” aboard Air Force One during a flight to his property in New Jersey. When asked if this changed his perception of the situation about “cards” that Ukraine has at his disposal, Trump critically commented on these actions.
– Well, they They gave Putin a reason for him to enter and bomb them on the hell of last night – he said. He added that he did not like the Ukrainian attack. “When I saw this, I said” Well, we start, now there will be Russia's blow]” – reported the president.
Trump “willing” to impose sanctions on Russia
Trump was also asked about his attitude towards the draft Congress Act regarding sharp sanctions against Russia. He replied that he would “see” and that He is willing to use sanctions if it decides that Russia will not be willing to conclude a peace agreement.
– They [Kongres] They have a bill that will depend on me. This will be my option He noted. He added that he has nothing against the act, but he has not yet decided to impose sanctions
“This is a very strong project,” he noted, not answering directly to the question of whether it is true – as “Wall Street Journal” wrote – that he pressed the project's records.
During the Friday flight, Trump also briefly referred to the statement of the highest leader of Iran Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, who complained that Iran would not give up the possibility of enriching uranium. Trump threatened that if Tehran does not get out of the Uranus enrichment program, he would have to force him “in a different way” than by negotiations.
– I really don't want to do it in a different way, but we won't have a choice. There will be no enrichment – he noted.
