During a lengthy interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” this morning, the president spoke about Russia and President Vladimir Putin, floating the idea that he could impose more sanctions on the Eastern European nation.

“It’ll be hitting very hard on — with sanctions to banks and having to do with oil and tariffs, also,” Trump said in response to a question about what it looks like for the U.S. to clamp down on Putin.

Trump also argued that, “I’ve already done it. I’ve done a lot,” pointing to the sanctions his administration imposed on India for buying Russian oil.

“That’s not an easy thing to do,” he added. “That’s a big deal, and it causes a rift with India, you know.”

The president also spoke about this week’s incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace, telling the “Fox and Friends” hosts that, “You shouldn’t be close to Poland anyway.”

He added that his patience with Putin is “sort of running out and running out fast” but said, “but it does take two to tango.” He said that Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy must both be willing to come to the negotiating table to find an end to the war.
