US Senator Lindsey Graham made a surprising claim over the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin at Alaska, during which he discussed interviews with Donald Trump about the ongoing war with Ukraine.
“The only reason Putin came to Alaska was that Trump threatened 50% against India for the purchase of Russian oil and gas,” Graham said.
The Republican from South Carolina also added that if they go to Russian oils oil and tell them to choose between the US economy and cheap Russian energy, they would choose the US economy.
Graham, when he spoke to Fox News Sunday morning, he said, “My council to President Trump and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio) is, you must convince Putin that if this war does not end fairly and honestly with Ukraine, we will also make concessions, destroy the Russian economy.”
At the beginning of this month, Trump threatened Russian energy buyers with other tariffs as a means to pressure Putin into peace interviews with Ukraine.
The US President has already doubled the duties of Indian products to 50% since August 27 when buying oil from Moscow.
However, Trump did not reach an agreement with Putin during his meeting at Alaska, but said they agreed on many points.
Meanwhile, Mondays and Trump expressed hope that Monday’s critical interviews with Ukrainian and European leaders in the White House could lead to trilateral interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the Russian war in Ukraine.
“If everything works today, we will have a trilate,” Trump said with reference to possible trilateral conversations between Zelenky, Putin and Trump. “We will work with Russia, we will cooperate with Ukraine.”
Trump added that his country would be involved in the provision of security guarantees within the Peace Agreement on the end of the Russian War.
“While European countries are” the first defense line because they are there, they are Europe, we will also help them. We will be involved, ”Trump added.
Previously, he said it was to end his invasion in Russia.
