US President Donald Trump said with an interview with Newsmax that "Russian leadership is pretty good with sanctions. He knows how to avoid sanctions," APA reports.
Trump continued to decry the "terrible situation" of Russia's war in Ukraine.
"This is [former President Joe] Biden's war. This is not my war. This war would have never happened. It didn't happen for four years. It was never even talked about other than anything I had conversations with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin," Trump said. "It was the apple of his eye, but he wasn't going to go into Ukraine. And I will say this, that's a war that should end. That's a terrible war."
Trump's new deadline on Russia to broker a ceasefire with Russia is Aug. 8.
He said that if a deal is not in place, "we'll put sanctions on, and he's pretty good with sanctions. He knows how to avoid sanctions."
