President Donald Trump said he was “absolutely” considering new sanctions against Russia as Moscow’s deadly campaign of missile and drone strikes across much of Ukraine extended into a third night. Trump’s comments, made to reporters in New Jersey on Sunday before he boarded Air Force One, came as he grows visibly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the state of talks meant to deliver a ceasefire in Ukraine. The US president has repeatedly threatened new sanctions in the past without following through. In tariff news, President Trump said he would extend the deadline for the European Union to face 50% tariffs until July 9 after a phone call with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. “We had a very nice call and I agreed to move it,” he said.
