Trump Urges Europe to Stop Buying Russian Oil

Former U.S. President Donald Trump wants Europe to stop buying oil from Russia because he thinks it will help end the war in Ukraine.

He believes if Europe stops buying oil, it will hurt Russia and might make the war stop sooner.

Although most European countries no longer buy oil directly from Russia, some still import from other countries.

Trump is urging European leaders to put more pressure on Russia.

He is specifically speaking to ambassadors, like Matt Whitaker, who is part of NATO.

The EU has already put steps in place to stop importing petroleum products from Russia by next year.
