Trump criticizes Europe over Russian oil: details of the contentious conversation.

US President Donald Trump had a tense phone conversation with European leaders, during which he expressed dissatisfaction with the policy regarding Russian energy resources. The conversation took place on Thursday, September 4, with the participation of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

According to inkorr.com: According to the German publication BILD, Trump criticized European leaders for importing Russian oil, believing this financially supports the Russian military. Ursula von der Leyen attempted to refute this criticism, noting that the volume of oil supplies from Russia to the European Union has significantly decreased since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Europeans discuss sanctions against Russia

During the phone conversation, European leaders expressed a proposal to coordinate actions with Trump regarding sanctions against Russia. They also reported their readiness to send their representatives to Washington within 48 hours to create a working group on these sanctions. However, it is still unknown whether Trump will agree to this initiative.

The discussion between Trump and European leaders highlights the tension in international political issues, particularly regarding dependence on Russian energy resources. Cooperation to impose sanctions may be an important step in combating Russian aggression and supporting Ukraine during this difficult time.
