Trump Says Putin ‘Let Me Down,’ Allies Must Stop Buying Oil

President Donald Trump has expressed his disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that he has "really let me down." However, Trump insisted that US allies must stop buying oil from Russia if they want the US to take further action to pressure the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine. The article suggests that the Trump administration has been calling on allies to cut off their oil purchases from Russia, as part of efforts to increase economic pressure on the Kremlin and compel it to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump's comments reflect a shift in his stance towards Putin, whom he has previously praised, but now appears to be criticizing for the actions taken by Russia in the ongoing war. The article highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics at play, as the US seeks to balance its own interests and those of its allies in responding to the crisis in Ukraine.
