I love the Russian people – Trump

"U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his “love” for Russians and called them a “great people.” At the same time, he threatened Moscow with more sanctions and set a new deadline for settling the Ukraine conflict.

Trump said he has “always gotten along with [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin,” during a Q&A session with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland on Monday. He praised Russia as a “rich” nation that could be “thriving like practically no other country” and spoke about the massive trade potential between Russia and the U.S.
“I don’t want to do that to Russia, I love the Russian people,” he said when asked about new sanctions.
He expressed his disappointment over the slow pace of the peace process between Moscow and Kiev and accused Russia of striking Ukrainian cities. Trump said he was “not interested in talking anymore” as his numerous “respectful and nice conversations” with Putin led to nothing." RT
