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.
