Trump says the Russian economy ‘odor’ and low oil prices will stop war

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Russia’s economy is “odor” and Vladimir Putin, president of low oil prices, will provide an oil-unlocked war machine.

“If Putin gets a second dollar barrel of $ 5, then people will stop killing. He has no choice as his economy is bad,” the President told the CNBC’s “Squock Box”.

These comments have come after the relationship between Moscow and Washington, who remained cordial at the beginning of Trump’s second term despite the ongoing war.

The President had threatened 25% duties on Indian exports as well as an irrelevant “penalty” last week. New Delhi alleged that the discounted Russian oil was purchased and “sold in the open market for a big profit”.

On Tuesday, Trump told CNBC that the rate may be increased to 25% in the next two hours.

“India is not a good commercial partner … so we settled up to 25%, but I think I am going to increase it in the next 24 hours, because they are buying Russian oil, they are fueling the war machines and if they are doing so, I will not be happy,” Trump said.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Kremlin’s press secretary Dimitri Peskov further said, “We do not consider such statements legal.”

“We believe that sovereign countries have the right to choose their own trade partner, trade and financial cooperation and select the trade and financial cooperation system for the benefit of a particular country.”
