Trump considering toughening sanctions against Russia

TEHRAN, May 26 (MNA) – US President Donald Trump is mulling the possibility of toughening anti-Russian sanctions, US news outlets reported him as saying before traveling to Washington, DC, from New Jersey.

Replying to a question as to whether he was considering introducing additional restrictions against Russia, the US leader said: "Absolutely."

According to TASS, the US leader has also expressed his displeasure with Russia’s recent massive strike on Ukrainian targets, saying that he was "surprised" and he does not "like it at all."

On May 20, Axios cited sources as saying that, after a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Trump told European leaders and Vladimir Zelensky that he did not intend to impose sanctions against Russia now because, in his opinion, Moscow is serious about the Ukrainian settlement.
