US President Donald Trump said he could tighten sanctions on Russia whenever he chooses. He had earlier taken 60 days to assess the economic impact of Russia-related sanctions and tariffs on other countries. A law tightening measures against Russian officials and state-owned companies also provides for higher tariffs, which the US administration may choose not to impose if it deems them contrary to US interests.

Trump said he suspended several Russia sanctions to keep Moscow at the negotiating table, blocking them two days before they were due to take effect. He accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war, while Zelensky said siding with Putin would be a historic mistake.
