German Chancellor Merz on how he begged Trump to impose sanctions against Russia

German Chancellor Merz on how he begged Trump to impose sanctions against Russia. “Putin only acts under pressure. There is military pressure, but obviously it is not enough. Statements about sanctions from America have been made, but they have not yet been implemented. If they were imposed, it would have a serious impact on the Russian economy. I have been encouraging the US president to do this for several weeks. Now he is obviously inclined to take further steps, but first - to talk. I will speak from the point of view of the outcome: what happens on Friday at the meeting in Alaska should not go without consequences. Measures must be taken — either towards even greater pressure on Russia, or towards Russia itself recognizing that this war cannot continue.“ Source: Lord Of War
