Trump 'Ready' to Sanction Russia if NATO Gives Up its Oil

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's ultimatum on NATO allies is nothing but a convenient way to avoid tough action against Russia, which he had promised to take if his push for a ceasefire failed. It's certain that Europe must stop buying energy from Moscow once and for all. However, given that the main buyers are Trump allies in Hungary, Slovakia, and Turkey, he could push them directly while imposing further sanctions if he actually wanted to do so.
