Putin Has Been 'Able to Handle Sanctions' - Trump
20250705
US President Donald Trump admitted that the Russian leadership has been able to cope with Western sanctions.
"He [Russian President Vladimir Putin] has been able to handle sanctions," Trump told reporters on board Air Force One.
Trump said the topic of restrictions against Russia was raised in a recent conversation with Putin.
"We talk about sanctions a lot, yeah. I would say he's not thrilled with it... he understands that it may be coming, and, you know, he's a professional," he said.
Trump said he thinks he is tougher on Russia than he is on Iran and almost any other country.
