00:00U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday called on NATO allies to stop buying Russian oil
00:05while also threatening China with massive tariffs for its own purchases of Russian petroleum.
00:12In a social media post, Trump called the oil buying by some NATO members shocking,
00:17saying it greatly weakens the alliance's negotiating position.
00:22His comments come just days after Russian drones violated Polish airspace,
00:27prompting NATO to launch a new eastern sentry deterrence program.
00:34The remarks also follow last month's summit in Alaska between Trump and Vladimir Putin,
00:38which failed to achieve a breakthrough on ending the war.
00:41Several NATO members, including Turkey, Hungary and Slovakia,
00:45continue to be major buyers of Russian oil after the invasion of Ukraine.
00:49Trump also repeated his claim that the conflict is Biden's and Zelensky's war
00:53and would not have occurred if he had been president when it began in early 2022.
00:58Whatever the intent was...
