Trump threatens Putin with new sanctions: how the Kremlin's position has changed

According to hvylya.net: US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce reported that the possible sanctions that President Donald Trump is threatening against Russia have affected dictator Vladimir Putin's position regarding negotiations. She noted that Putin is trying to prolong the negotiation process, but the situation has changed due to the possible sanctions that the White House plans to impose on Russia.

'There are indeed attempts to prolong the process and involve other players in the game. We see that for Putin, this may be an attempt to buy time and change the situation to his advantage,' Tammy Bruce emphasized.

It is also worth noting that Trump expressed readiness to meet with Putin next week.

According to the State Department spokesperson's statements, the possible sanctions from the US have influenced the Russian leader's behavior regarding negotiations. Putin tried to prolong the process, but pressure from the US government forced him to change his position. Now there is an open opportunity for the presidents of Russia and the US to meet next week.
