Russian President - Putin responds to the threats of U.S. President - Donald Trump and expresses willingness to cooperate with Trump

1. The threat from President Donald Trump

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, U.S. President Donald Trump called on OPEC and Saudi Arabia to lower oil prices to pressure Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine.

"If prices drop, the Russia-Ukraine war will end immediately. Currently, prices remain high," Trump said.

2. Putin responds to Mr. Trump's threat

"We are always ready to cooperate with the U.S.; lowering oil prices is detrimental to both sides. If Trump decides to lower oil prices, it is a wrong decision that will harm the U.S. economy," Russian President Putin responded.

Putin: "The best way is for us to meet and discuss this issue."

3. Why would it harm the U.S. economy if Trump lowers oil prices?

According to Trump, lowering oil prices would help reduce fuel costs for Americans. However, this also poses a risk of harming U.S. oil producers, as the cost of oil extraction in the U.S. is higher, and if oil prices drop too low, new oil extraction projects in the U.S. could be stalled.
