US Treasury Scott Bessent says tougher sanctions can bring Russian economy to ‘full collapse.’
United States President Donald Trump has expressed his frustration with Russia following Moscow’s largest-ever aerial assault on Ukraine, as his administration floated tougher sanctions to “collapse” the Russian economy.
Speaking on Sunday after Russia launched its biggest missile and drone attack yet on Ukraine, Trump said he was not happy about “the whole situation.”
“It’s such a horrible waste of humanity. I am not thrilled with what’s happening there, I will tell you,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
“I think it’s going to get settled.”
Trump’s comments came hours after he indicated that he was prepared to ramp up sanctions against Moscow.
