Trump says he is willing to impose sanctions on Russia

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is willing to impose sanctions on Russia but Europe has to act in a way that is commensurate with the United States.

“Europe is buying oil from Russia. I don’t want them to buy oil,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. “And the sanctions … that they’re putting on are not tough enough, and I’m willing to do sanctions, but they’re going to have to toughen up their sanctions commensurate with what I’m doing.”
