Trump lambasts ‘Russian war machine’ as special envoy set to visit Moscow for cease-fire talks
By
President Trump on Monday lambasted the “Russian war machine” responsible for the deaths of innocent Ukrainians — in a sharp escalation of his rhetoric just as special envoy Steve Witkoff was slated to visit Moscow for a make-or-break meeting this week.
Trump lashed out at the Kremlin as he jacked up the US tariff on imports from India because of the country’s continued purchase of Russian oil as Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine raged on.
“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,” the president said in a Truth Social post.
“They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine.” he raged.
“Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DJT.”
