In this The Daily Wire article, Drew Berkemeyer reports that President Trump declared the Iran situation will soon be in the rearview mirror and signaled plans to reinstate sanctions on Russian oil exports as the administration shifts focus back to ending the war in Ukraine.
- Trump made the remarks on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, noting that stabilized energy markets after the Gulf ceasefire and an agreement with Iran now allow renewed pressure on Moscow.
- “Soon we’ll be able to do that because the oil is now flowing,” Trump said, indicating the temporary easing of Russian oil sanctions during the Iran conflict will end.
- Trump emphasized that resolving the Russia-Ukraine war remains a priority, calling the conflict “ridiculous” and pledging to do whatever he can to end the fighting.
- European allies are ramping up pressure with Britain announcing sanctions on over 600 vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet, plus targets in energy, finance, and technology networks.
- Canada unveiled sanctions on 162 individuals, entities, and vessels, while the EU is preparing additional measures on Russia’s banking, energy, and trade sectors.
- The shift follows a major Russian attack on Ukraine that killed at least 11 people and damaged civilian infrastructure just before the summit.
- Ukrainian President Zelensky joined G7 leaders, who expressed unanimous support for Ukraine and agreed on the need for stronger economic pressure to force Putin to negotiate.
- Trump’s comments eased concerns among some European officials who had worried about U.S. focus remaining primarily on the Middle East.
