Trump « angry ». Moscow’s reaction

The remarks of US President Donald Trump about his anger for his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin ‘are not accurately quoted, « Kremlin spokesman said on Monday, after the White House leader threatened with sanctions if Russia does not engage in the efforts to end the war, but there is nothing. concrete in the Russian-American dialogue on the issue of resolving this conflict.

‘Some of these statements are paraphrases, they are not accurate. Several different statements have been made, « noted the Kremlin spokesman at his daily press conference.

In an interview with the NBC station on Sunday, Trump said he had been angry when Putin criticized the legitimacy of Ukrainian president Volodimir Zelenski and threatened with new 25% customs duties to be claimed by the US including countries that buy Russian oil, if Russia will not be involved in the Ukraine.

Trump’s threat has thus mentioned ‘secondary customs taxes on oil, all the oil coming out of Russia’, which would mean that if you buy oil from Russia, you cannot do business in the United States’.

Commenting Trump’s statement, the Kremlin spokesman stressed that in the Russian-American dialogue on the conclusion of the Ukraine war there is nothing concrete yet.

‘We are working on implementing ideas related to the settlement (conflict) in Ukraine. This activity is in progress. There are still no concrete details on which we can or need to inform, ‘Peskov said.

He insisted that negotiations with Washington focus primarily on normalizing relations between Russia and the US, who have undergone huge damage during the previous administration ‘of President Joe Biden.

Trump’s remarks about his dissatisfaction with the Kremlin leader came after Putin proposed the replacement of President Zelenski’s administration last week with a UN led one, organizing elections in Ukraine and then conducting peace with the new Ukrainian power.
