Rebeccah Heinrichs to Trump Using Kid Gloves with Putin: ‘I Was Pretty Deflated After I Heard the President’s Remarks’

‘Because I was really hopeful that President Trump would impose costs on Putin in order to compel him to finally agree to an unconditional ceasefire’

EXCERPT:

HEINRICHS: “No, Trace. Actually, I was pretty deflated after I heard the president’s remarks because I was really hopeful that President Trump would impose costs on Putin in order to compel him to finally agree to an unconditional ceasefire, which Ukraine has agreed to — agreed to weeks ago. So, Russia continues to stall. And despite President Trump’s optimism, Russia is the one that continues to act aggressively against Ukraine. President Trump thankfully has still said there’s other things that he’s left on table: imposing biting sanctions against energy and banking. But until President Trump really decides to get tough on Putin, I don’t see Putin deciding that he’s going to end this conflict, which he started.”
