Wait 5 sec.

“President Trump on Saturday set conditions for imposing new sanctions on Russia, saying he would do so only if all NATO member nations did the same and also stopped buying Russian oil and imposed steep tariffs on China,” the New York Times reports.“They were the latest in a series of new conditions that Mr. Trump had announced before he would agree on punitive action against Russia, which has accelerated its aggression against Ukraine despite a summit that Mr. Trump held with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a month ago in Alaska. None of the steps Mr. Trump had said were required to begin an end to the war — including a negotiation between Mr. Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine — have taken place, or appear imminent.”CNN: Trump issues an ultimatum for NATO countries on Russia sanctions.
