On Tuesday at the G7 summit in France, President Trump indicated he might reimpose sanctions on Russian oil shipments following meetings with European leaders and President Zelenskyy.
This shift comes after allies, led by French President Macron, pressured Trump to move his attention from the Middle East back to the four-year war in Ukraine. While Trump claimed the conflict has "no impact" on the U.S. due to the distance, he signed a joint declaration promising "unwavering support" for Kyiv. To force a peace deal, G7 leaders agreed to increase military aid and tighten energy restrictions to exploit Russia's mounting battlefield casualties.
Observers are now watching to see if this pressure brings Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table or if Trump’s interest remains strictly transactional.
