US President Donald Trump said he is ready for a “second phase” of sanctions on Russia and countries that buy Russian oil. His remarks came after Moscow launched its largest aerial assault on Ukraine, striking Kyiv and killing four people. Trump, when asked at the White House, replied, “Yeah, I am,” without giving details. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent later said the US and EU could impose “secondary tariffs” to pressure Russia’s economy. India may be hit, as it remains a key buyer of Russian crude. New Delhi says its energy needs justify imports despite US tariffs. (PC: India Today)
