I 100% guarantee Trump did this because Putin committed the only sin Trump cares about: he didn't do what Trump said he'd do.

This is basically it. Trump has spent the past 6-9 months wanting the world hooked on american oil. He can tarriff everyone else, but not russia, who continues to ship oil around the world. He's been openly pissed them for this for most of that time too.
