Trump administration hardens stance against the Kremlin day after cancelling a planned summit with Russian leader

The US has sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia’s two largest oil companies, as the Trump administration increased pressure on the Kremlin to negotiate an end to its war against Ukraine.

The sanctions were the first against Russia since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, and were targeted to cut key revenues from oil sales that finance the Russian war machine.

The move against Russia marks the latest swing of the pendulum under the Trump administration from coercing Kyiv to sue for peace to growing frustration with Vladimir Putin’s maximalist demands.

Yeah it’s pretty wild how obviously accurate the “what did the last person orangeboi talked to tell him” theory is. It’s like… not even a little bit ambiguous.

Every move in his first Presidency could be predicted by what was on Fox News the night before. This happened so often it was undeniable. Now that he's well sunk into dementia it's even worse.

Oh, so today the coin flip came up "Support Ukraine"? Neat! Wonder what it'll be tomorrow.

Depends on who he talked to last. Like every other time. It's all just manipulation of the Presidency. Both foreign and domestic.

Is that the oil that Russia is now importing after losing infrastructure?
