True - every time you think he's sunk as low as he can go he surprises us and goes ever lower.

If you'll pardon the Bushism, Trump is easily misoverestimated.
US President Donald Trump has stated that he is considering imposing large-scale banking sanctions and tariffs against Russia until a ceasefire is achieved.
"Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!"

note:
Russia has had sanctions imposed upon it since the Obama administration, when Putin conquered Crimea.
Putin is superlatively ignorant about economics, in substantial part because he doesn't care.
Trump may twist Putin's arm to get Putin to physically sit in a chair at a bargaining table.
Trump can not and will not succeed in coercing Putin to negotiate in good faith, to reach an internationally acceptable peace agreement with Ukraine / Zelenskyy.
Thus the headline is less an announcement of incremental progress toward peace,
and rather more confirmation Trump posturing superficially.

Donnie's lord and master (Putin) wouldn't like that - sounds like grandstanding for the benefit of those Americans who understand he really is whipped .....
