Trump threatens Russia with "economic war" if there is no progress on the Ukraine issue

US President Trump said that if there is no progress on the Ukraine crisis, he may launch an "economic war" against Russia.

Trump said at a cabinet meeting: "I hope the Ukraine conflict can end. I want it to stop. This will not be a world war, but an economic war, and an economic war will be a terrible war, which will also be bad for Russia. And I don't want this right now."

Russian President Putin previously stated that containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have severely hit the global economy. He said the main purpose of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
