Patience with Putin 'running out fast' over Ukraine war, says Trump

US President Donald Trump on Friday said his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin was running out, but stopped short of threatening new sanctions over the Ukraine war. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he had long had a good relationship with Putin, but expressed frustration at his failure to end the war. "We're going to have to come down very, very strong," he said. Trump said sanctions on banks and oil were an option, along with tariffs, but European countries also needed to participate.
"But I've already done it. I've done a lot," Trump said, noting that India – one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil – was facing a 50% tariff on its exports to the US. "That's not an easy thing to do. That's a big deal and it causes a rift with India," he told the "Fox & Friends" program.  "And remember this, this is a Europe problem, much more than our problem."
The US President also reiterated his claims of having resolved multiple global conflicts during his second term. “I have solved seven wars. I did so many, including Pakistan and India, but big ones, some were unsolvable, Congo and Rwanda. I solved it. It was going on for 31 years, millions of people killed. I solve wars that was unsolvable,” he said.
