Trump Goes Off In Scattershot Rant To ‘THE WORLD’ Attacking U.S. Allies

President Donald Trump went off on U.S. allies in an aside-filled rant attacking NATO countries for buying oil from Russia.

It has now been almost a month since Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin for a high-stakes summit meeting in Anchorage, Alaska that did not result in a hoped-for ceasefire. Since then, Putin has made no progress toward talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

On Saturday morning, Trump responded to pressure by posting a lengthy rant to Truth Social vowing to take serious action against Russia only if our own allies meet certain conditions, and dropping swipes here and there along the way:

A LETTER SENT BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP TO ALL NATO NATIONS AND, THE WORLD: “I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA. As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia. Anyway, I am ready to “go” when you are. Just say when? I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR. China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip. This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR. I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives (7,118 lives lost last week, alone. CRAZY!). If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

Trump has no public events scheduled this weekend.
