Trump, who subsequently returned to the United States with his wife Melania, said that the United States needed to deal with the Kremlin “differently” via “secondary sanctions” and “banking.”
He said, “Too many people are dying!!!” in reference to the Russian military attacks on Kyiv last week, which damaged many buildings and left 12 people dead.
A companion measure was approved by 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats in the Senate last week, raising the prospect of more penalties against Russia.
