Asked for comment on Donald Trump's statements regarding the imposition of possible secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian goods, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today that Russia continues to analyze what the US president said, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
So far, the Kremlin has reacted coldly to Trump's threats to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, saying that decisions made by the US leader and the NATO military alliance will be interpreted by Kiev as a signal to continue the war.
On Monday, during his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump announced that he would provide weapons to Kiev and gave Moscow 50 days to reach a ceasefire agreement or face sanctions and tariffs of about 100 percent, notes Reuters.
Putin has yet to comment publicly on Trump's threats. Earlier today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Putin would comment if or when he himself deemed it necessary, Reuters noted.
