Trump “will know the right time and place” to launch further sanctions against Russia, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also stated that they could jeopardise future talks.
Source: According to European Pravda, Rubio spoke with Politico, a politics and policy news outlet with headquarters in Brussels.
Details: At the NATO conference in The Hague on Wednesday, June 25, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders are attempting to convince Trump to impose further penalties on Russia, given that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has consistently turned down US ceasefire overtures.
“If we did what everybody here wants us to do, and that is come in and crush them with more sanctions, we probably lose our ability to talk to them about the ceasefire and then who’s talking to them?” Rubio said.
He added that Trump “will know the right time and place” for new economic measures. Rubio asserted that the presidential administration is working with Congress to ensure that Trump has enough flexibility regarding the implementation of such measures.
However, if the US decides to impose sanctions, he added, it would likely mean that the window for talks with Russia will close. “If he does it, you’re almost admitting that this is not going to be negotiated anytime soon,” Rubio said.
“We will continue to interact. In the sense that we’re going to seize the chance if it presents itself to change things and bring them to the table,” the US secretary of state continued.
Rubio noted that Moscow is certain it can achieve its territorial goals by armed force, a view Washington does not agree with, as talks with Russia continue to stagnate.
