Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roran. President Trump says he's ready to impose new sanctions on Russia, but only with action from fellow NATO countries first. As NPR's Danielle Kirtzleben reports, it's Trump's latest threat as Russia continues attacking Ukraine. On social media, Trump posted what he said was the text of a letter to

all NATO nations and the world. He wrote that he'll be ready to impose new sanctions on Russia

when other NATO nations have stopped buying oil from the country. He also said he wants

NATO countries to impose tariffs of 50 to 100 percent on Chinese goods. China is a top buyer of Russian oil. Trump met with Putin in

Alaska last month in an effort to broker peace in the Ukraine war. Since then, Russia has continued to

attack Ukraine and its drones were also shot down in Polish airspace. And Trump has been

facing pressure from within his own party to increase sanctions on Russia as its aggression has continued.
