#heatwaves ๐ US President Donald Trump has responded to Russian President Vladimir Putinโs claim that new American sanctions will not harm Russiaโs economy, saying he would โsee how it all works outโ over time.ย
โI am glad he feels that way. Iโll let you know about it in six months from now,โ Trump remarked, hinting at a wait-and-see approach to the sanctionsโ long-term impact.
The exchange came after Putin dismissed Washingtonโs latest economic measures as an attempt to pressure Moscow over its refusal to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. The sanctions target Russiaโs two biggest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, and are intended to โlimit Russiaโs ability to finance its aggression,โ according to the US Treasury Department.
