Donald Trump has warned he will impose high tariffs and further sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin fails to end the war in Ukraine.
Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, he said that by pushing to settle the war he was doing Russia and its president a "very big favour".
Trump had previously said he would negotiate a settlement to Russia's full-scale invasion launched in February 2022, in a single day.
Responding to the threat of harsher sanctions, the Kremlin said it remains "ready for an equal dialogue, a mutually respectful dialogue".
"We're waiting for signals that are yet to arrive," said President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.
He added that Russia sees nothing new in Donald Trump's threats to impose sanctions.
"He likes these methods, at least he liked them during his first presidency."
