Trump again avoided a direct answer on exactly how he wants to handle the war "after he's elected" and "before he takes office," but hinted that he intends to end the high energy prices that help Russia fund its war effort, APA reports citing UNIAN.
"When Putin has $100 a barrel, the war is working. At 40 dollars per barrel, it will not work at all."
Commenting on the energy policy that he will pursue if he wins the election, Trump stated his intention to sharply lower energy prices.
"I (...) will introduce a policy of energy surplus, energy independence and even energy dominance. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country, including Russia and Saudi Arabia. My plan will cut energy prices by half or more within 12 months of taking office. This will be an economic revival of our country that no one has seen before."
