Finland’s Stubb Says Trump Wants US and Europe to Act Together on Sanctions Against Russia

(Reuters) – Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said President Donald Trump in a call with European leaders on Thursday suggested the U.S. and Europe should act together on further sanctions against Russia, and that sanctions on oil and gas were up for discussion.

“Trump’s approach was very much that we must act together on sanctions policy and now look for ways in particular to halt Russia’s war machine by economic means,” Stubb told Finnish media after the meeting.

“In that case there are two targets, namely oil and gas. The President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and President Trump’s close advisers will discuss this over the next 24 hours,” Stubb said.
