Trump Warns of ‘Economic War’ If Putin Doesn’t Pursue Peace

US President Donald Trump warned of “an economic war” if he cannot get Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy to end their conflict, saying he had “very serious” consequences in mind if the fighting continues.

“It will not be a world war, but it’ll be an economic war, and an economic war is going to be bad. It’s going to be bad for Russia, and I don’t want that,” Trump said at a meeting with his cabinet members Tuesday at the White House.
