“It will be a business for us,” he added.
Trump also repeated that he was “disappointed” in Putin because it was growing increasingly irritated with the Russian leader.
“Putin really surprised a lot of people. He speaks nice and then all the bomb in the evening,” Trump said on Sunday when he returned from watching the FIFA World Cup in New Jersey.
Last week, Trump accused Putin of throwing “bullshit” in Washington, Ukraine, openly frustrated with the aim of peaceful efforts.
When his second Stint in office began in January, Trump insisted that he could cooperate with the Russian leader to quickly end the war in Ukraine and, unlike the European allies from Kiev, unlike Kiev European allies.
Russia, however, rejected the ceasefire designed by the United States and Ukraine.
Trump indicated that he could be ready to slap sanctions on Moscow because the momentum increases for a discouraging package in the congress.
When Trump asked if he would announce any fees against Russia, he replied, “We’ll see what we’ll see tomorrow, okay?” and repeated plans to meet Rutte.

Meanwhile, Republican senators offer a Bipartisan law that trump would be armed with a “hammer” that could use against Russia.
The proposal of sanctions would allow Trump “to go after Putin’s economy and all those countries that support the Putin War Machine,” said Republican senator Lindsey Graham broadcasting CBS News.
“It would give President Trump the ability to store 500 percent of tariffs on any country that helps Russia,” Graham said, adding that these could include economies that buy Russian goods such as China, India or Brazil.
“It is really a hammer that President Trump has to end this war,” Graham said.
Graham and democratic senator Richard Blumenthal also met NATO Rutte on Monday.
Blumenthal said CBS News that they would also discuss the legally thorny edition of the unlocking of frozen Russian assets in Europe and the United States on access to Ukraine.
“$ 5 billion that the United States could also reach, and I think it’s time to do it,” Blumenthal said.
He stated greenishly that the proposed law “is exactly the kind of lever effect that can bring peace closer and ensure that diplomacy is not empty”.
The Kremlin has previously stated that sending weapons to Ukraine would only extend the conflict.
In 2022, Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine in full and showed a small appetite to end the conflict despite the pressure of Trump.
During the summer, Russia escalated its offensive and proceeded in the first line and started some of the greatest attacks of war and drones.
