Trump has spent weeks bashing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and, this week, the U.S. paused giving military aid to and sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

The president framed his threat as part of his effort to forge a cease-fire and permanent peace deal in Ukraine. He later defended Russia’s overnight attacks on Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he is "strongly considering" imposing sweeping sanctions, including ones on banking, and tariffs on Russia until a ceasefire and peace agreement is reached with Ukraine.
