Trump not ruling out new sanctions against Russia

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he may impose new sanctions on Russia as pressure mounts on Moscow to force it to end the war in Ukraine.

He made the statement on Thursday during a meeting with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

When asked whether he plans to introduce more sanctions against Russia, Trump said: "I might."

The U.S. leader also said that he currently did not intend to withdraw U.S. troops from Europe, though he did not rule out certain redeployments.
