Trump considers new sanctions on Russia as he grows more furious with Putin | CNN Politics

When President Donald Trump spoke last week by telephone with Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader committed to drafting and sending what he described as a "memorandum of peace" in the coming days laying out Russian requirements for a ceasefire with Ukraine, according to a US official and White House official familiar with the matter.

The article from CNN dated May 27, 2025, discusses the imposition of new sanctions by the United States against Russia in response to its ongoing war with Ukraine. These sanctions, announced by the Biden administration, target key Russian financial institutions and oligarchs closely linked to President Vladimir Putin. The move comes amid heightened tensions and is seen as a direct reaction to recent aggressive actions by Russia in the conflict zone. Additionally, the article mentions former President Donald Trump's criticism of the sanctions, arguing that they could escalate tensions further and negatively impact global economic stability. Trump's comments have reignited debates about the effectiveness and consequences of economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy.
