Patience with Putin ‘running out fast’: Trump hints at tougher US sanctions on Russia
US President Donald Trump has signaled the possibility of tougher sanctions on Russia, saying his patience with Vladimir Putin is “running out fast.”
In a fresh interview with foreign media, Trump remarked, “It does take two to tango… When Putin wanted to do it, Zelensky didn’t. When Zelensky wanted to do it, Putin didn’t… We’re going to have to come down very, very strong.”
The remarks come amid growing speculation over US policy towards Russia and Ukraine, with Trump suggesting stronger actions could be on the table if Moscow does not alter its stance.

On the economic front, Trump turned his fire on US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, branding him “Jerome TOO LATE Powell” for his delayed response on interest rates. “He’s a year late — and despite that, we have the best economy,” Trump said, touting his administration’s record.
Highlighting trade policies, Trump credited tariffs for strengthening America’s position on the global stage. “We’ve been successful because of the tariffs. It’s given us a great power to negotiate with other countries that took advantage of us,” he said.
Trump also pointed to a major case currently before the Supreme Court, calling it crucial to maintaining the US as a “rich country.”
