U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wanted to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as possible to secure an end to the war with Ukraine and expressed a desire to work towards cutting nuclear arms.

Donald Trump pledged to end the conflict in Ukraine, but the war has proved harder to solve than he once thought. Now, he says he'll sanction Russia.

Donald Trump said he would impose high tariffs and further sanctions on Russia if it continued its "ridiculous war".
