Donald Trump issued a stunning threat to NATO allies for holding up his negotiations to end the Russia - Ukraine war and warned against 'wasting my time' in a blistering social media post.
Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to rebuke NATO allies for buying oil from Russia despite their opposition to Vladimir Putin's invasion, saying it 'greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia'.
'I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,' Trump wrote.
'As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking!'
Trump then floated a bold plan to have the US and NATO impose 50 percent to 100 percent tariffs on China, 'to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended.'

The US will do nothing as long as Europe is buying Russian oil, and there will be no secondary sanctions unless ALL NATO countries participate.
Pure fantasy, as it has been since the beginning of the discussion.
EU Countries have undermined Trump’s effort to end the Ruzzian/YouCraynee
War. These EU idiots are using the War to distract their Citizens from the terrible
Problems in their own Countries.
Europe is on the verge of financial collapse. Their only hope is a forever war.
Russia is not our enemy, Trump is not the world’s policeman, and he has no business trying to dictate who India and the EU can trade with. His tariffs will hurt American consumers and drive their target nations further into Brics.
You’re saying Trump is lying?
Looks to me like the mess will go on until it spreads and gets worse.
Traitorous talk.
Is that you Rand Paul?
He’s shaving the truth and telling you Ukrainian Partisans what you want to hear.
Good luck with that economically if they finally force themselves to become energy-dependent on the USA
And the Russian nukes pointed at us?
NATO countries should get nothing until they do exactly as they are told by President Trump without question or complaint.
Is that supposed to be some kind of slight?
Did you come from behind...or under, that rock?
Several NATO countries are reliant on Russia for energy, countries like Slovakia, Hungary and even Latvia for example.
Where have you been for the last 80 years? Russia most certainly is the enemy of the USA. What a ridiculous statement
If I were the EU, I’d tell Trump to stop buying nuclear fuel and titanium from Russia...and see what happens.
There must be atomic radioactive combinations that could be added to materials to trace their origins exactly. More than oil, America needs to be able to point an instrument at any product and tell how much of it came from communist China.
Beyond that, this is standard rump British Empire (and now Globalist Davos) foreign policy for the last 350+ years - no one on the continent must be allowed to become too unified or strong. Whichever country does, becomes the enemy - France, Germany, Russia - wash, rinse, repeat.
Now this effort has a globalist, neo-marxist ideology behind it, and the goal is to suck in the United States via their Atlanticist allies in the controlled DC deep state.
Precisely right, but Trump hasn’t exactly been firm with them either. The Europeans keep playing their little games.
