No deal was reached on the ukraine war in the talks between donald trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. President donald trump of the US, which repeatedly threatened to impose additional sanctions on russia, warmly welcomed Putin on the red carpet. Now his party MP Lindsey Graham has threatened Russia.
Will destroy Russia's economy: Graham
Senator Lindsey Graham has said that the US should use its economic power against russia to end the war in Ukraine. He urged President donald trump to increase tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. In an interview to Fox News, Lindsey Graham said, "My advice to President trump and Foreign minister Marco Rubio is that you should explain to Putin that if the war does not end, we will destroy the Russian economy. We have so much power that we can do this."
Accused russia of kidnapping Ukrainian children
Lindsey Graham also accused russia of kidnapping more than 20,000 Ukrainian children. He warned that if russia does not return them, he will push for a law to declare moscow a state sponsor of terrorism. Ukrainian officials estimate that the actual number of kidnapped children could be close to 35,000.
Putin came to meet trump because of tariff on India
The US senator has supported the bill under which trump will be able to impose tariffs up to 500 percent on countries that are still buying Russian energy. Referring to the 50 percent tariff imposed on india for buying Russian oil, Lindsey said that this was the reason why Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to the Alaska summit last week.
Advice given to european countries
He said that europe should also increase its response by imposing tough measures on countries buying Russian oil and gas instead of relying only on US action. He told the european union, "Impose tariffs on every country that buys Russian oil and gas at cheap prices to benefit Putin's war machine. Do what trump is doing.
