Former President Trump has criticized portions of a recently enacted law designed to impose penalties on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, arguing that certain provisions conflict with what he describes as U.S. national interests. The law, intended to strengthen sanctions and support for Ukraine, has drawn opposition from Trump, who has framed the measures as potentially harmful to American priorities. His remarks highlight a growing political divide over how aggressively the U.S. should respond to Russia’s actions in the region. The statement underscores broader debates about foreign policy and economic strategy in the wake of the conflict.
Trump says parts of a new law that aims to punish Moscow for its war against Ukraine are against US national interests.
