The United States has prepared sweeping new sanctions against Russia, specifically targeting state-owned energy giant Gazprom and other major organizations tied to natural resources and finance. While President Trump has yet to sign off, officials confirm all components are in place. "It’s totally his call," one remarked, as the National Security Council coordinates additional punitive measures.

Trump’s patience with Vladimir Putin has worn thin after repeated failed attempts to initiate peace talks for Ukraine. Early private calls saw the US president echoing Moscow’s positions, but recent rejections have hardened his stance. The administration now appears poised to escalate economic pressure significantly.
