U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong> may soon decide to impose tougher sanctions targeting buyers of Russian oil and Russia\u2019s banking sector, Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/strong> said Thursday on Fox Radio, according to Ukrinform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe president has a lot of options,\u201d Rubio explained. \u201cAs everyone knows, he can impose secondary sanctions on the sale of Russian oil, which makes up a huge portion of the country’s income. There are also sectoral banking sanctions, which would be highly effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rubio noted that Trump has waited over six months for signs of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis week… we once again spoke with the Russian side \u2014 not with Putin, but with key representatives \u2014 hoping to find a path to peace. But there\u2019s been no progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Rubio, Trump is frustrated by the contrast between Moscow\u2019s \u201cpromising\u201d words during talks and the reality on the ground:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAfter what seem like productive conversations, the next night more people are killed, more cities are bombed \u2014 even those far from the front line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rubio stressed that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe best path forward is to stop the shooting and start talking. But we don\u2019t see genuine interest from the Russian side.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When asked about recent threats from senior Russian official Dmitry Medvedev<\/strong> in response to U.S. ultimatums, Rubio downplayed Medvedev\u2019s relevance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not a decision-maker. He hasn\u2019t participated in any of the meetings or negotiations we\u2019ve held… I wouldn\u2019t consider him part of the decision-making process. But yes, he holds an official post and says provocative things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rubio also emphasized that the U.S. does not<\/strong> see a military confrontation with Russia as a viable option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThese are the two largest militaries in the world, both with nuclear weapons \u2014 the risk would be far too great,\u201d he said.
\u201cThat said, Russia\u2019s conventional forces are no match for the United States and many European countries \u2014 as this war against Ukraine has shown, even when Ukraine\u2019s army wasn\u2019t as strong as it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rubio was also asked about Trump\u2019s recent announcement of 25% tariffs on Indian goods<\/strong>, set to take effect August 1, along with penalties for India\u2019s purchase of Russian oil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIndia\u2019s purchase of Russian energy is certainly disappointing,\u201d Rubio said.
\u201cDespite having many other oil suppliers, India continues to buy so much from Russia that it essentially helps fund the war and enables it to go on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, President Trump shortened his ultimatum to Russia to 10 days<\/strong>, after which the U.S. will impose tariffs and other restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
