US President Donald Trump is reportedly "pissed off" with his Russian counterpart Putin for delaying the Ukraine ceasefire. As per reports, Trump has warned of fresh sanctions against Russian oil if Moscow tries to block the truce deal to end the Ukraine war.

As per NBC News, Trump stated he was "very angry" and "pissed off" with Putin after the Russian leader criticised the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump's remarks come after Putin suggested on Friday that Ukraine could be placed "under a form of external governance" that would allow for new elections and Zelenskyy's ouster.

"If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia라이브 바카라 fault ... I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump said.

He added that there will be a 25 percent tariff on all oil. "That would be, that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States,” Trump added.

Despite the tariff threat, Trump added that he and Putin "share a good relationship."

With negotiations and talks underway, Ukraine and Russia had agreed to a partial ceasefire, which would result in a halt to attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv and Moscow.

The US had pushed for an immediate 30-day halt in fighting, which was agreed to by Ukraine but rejected by Russia and Putin.
