Video Description

When President Donald Trump spoke last week by telephone with Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader committed to drafting and sending what he described as a “memorandum of peace” in the coming days laying out Russian requirements for a ceasefire with Ukraine, according to a US official and White House official familiar with the matter. But more than a week after that phone call, the US has yet to receive the document from Russia, the sources said. Now, Trump is considering moving ahead with new sanctions on Moscow in the coming days as he vents his fury at the state of the conflict, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN's Alayna Treene reports from the White House, and Boris Sanchez talks with former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark. #CNN #News
