WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is prepared to impose economic sanctions against Russia if Vladimir Putin fails to agree to a ceasefire, warning of serious consequences.

"We want to have an end. We have economic sanctions. I'm talking about economic because we're not going to get into a world war," Trump said.
