Considering sanctions against Russia, approval for the delivery of weapons to Ukraine
President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin and stated that he is seriously considering sanctions against Russia. He also mentioned that the United States has approved the delivery of some defensive weapons to Ukraine.
Previously, on July 7th local time, during a dinner hosted by President Trump in the White House for visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the President indicated that the United States would deliver more weapons to Ukraine to assist in self-defense. In response, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, stated on social media on the 8th that there was no need to react to President Trump’s statements regarding the issue of Ukraine. Russia should continue to achieve its special military operation goals and strive for victory.
On the 8th, President Trump once again stated that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell should resign immediately.
Moreover, President Trump posted on the social media platform “Real Social” stating that a new study by the Economic Advisory Committee (CEA) found that tariffs have no impact on inflation. In fact, the research showed that import prices are actually declining. President Trump said that fake news and so-called “experts” were wrong again, tariffs are making America “prosperous,” with a large number of new factories, new jobs, and trillions of dollars of investment flowing into the United States.
President Trump also mentioned that this new study should be shown to Mr. FedEx, the Federal Reserve Chairman, Mr. Powell. President Trump said that Powell has been complaining about non-existent inflation for months and refuses to take correct action. It’s now time to cut interest rates.
