Donald Trump does not want Russian oil in Europe
The European Commission proposed provisions aimed at gradually withdrawing the import of Russian oil and gas from the EU to January 1, 2028. Brussels strives to break the energy relations with Russia who had been going on for decades after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Donald Trump is frustrated with his inability to stop the fighting in Ukraine, despite the fact that, taking the office in January last year, he predicted that he would be able to end the war quickly – writes Reuters.
