US President Donald Trump has called on Russia to make a “deal” to end the war in Ukraine, warning of intensified sanctions and tariffs against Moscow if no agreement is reached.
Source: Trump on his social media platform Truth Social, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Trump said he “is not looking to harm Russia”, expressed his love for the Russian people, and highlighted his “very good relationship with Putin”. He also recalled how “Russia helped us win WWII, losing almost 60 million lives in the process”.
Quote: “All of that being said, I am going to do Russia, whose economy is failing, and Putin a very big FAVOUR. Settle now and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.”
More details: Trump warned that if a “deal” to end the war is not reached “soon”, he will have “no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States and various other participating countries”.
Quote: “Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were president, over with! We can do it the easy way or the hard way – and the easy way is always better. It’s time to ‘MAKE A DEAL’. NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!”
Background:
- On the first day of his presidency, Trump said that Vladimir Putin was destroying Russia by not ending the war.
- Later, Trump indicated he was prepared to consider stronger sanctions against Russia if it refused to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.
- As he congratulated Trump on taking office, Putin said he was ready to engage in dialogue regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine.

“US President Donald Trump has called on Russia to make a “deal” to end the war in Ukraine, warning of intensified sanctions and tariffs against Moscow if no agreement is reached.”
Trump will learn soon enough that the rat won’t or even can’t make a deal. And, if the deal is bad for Ukraine, Ukraine can’t make a deal either. He might as well just shut his trap, send more weapons to Ukraine and sanction the hell out of mafia land and sit back. Then he’ll get his deal soon enough.
mafia land won’t take any notice of threats. It’s far better to sanction the crap out of them, and arm Ukraine to the teeth. That will get a response. We had 3 years of crap from the Biden admin, we don’t need another 3 years of crap.
I would do it exactly that way. To heck with warning and begging.
If it did happen that way. We would soon get the bleeding hearts saying putler has to save face.
I would do something else to his stupid face besides saving it.
I think its best to deal with the tiny fascist the way parents deal with their unruly children. That is, tell them what will happen IF….
In this case, Trump is telling Vladolf what will happen….IF….so when he doesn’t do it, HE is responsible for the outcome. Moskali do not like the “language of ultimatums” and want to be treated as equals. Too late for that now 🙂
Many things they think are far away from reality. Thinking they are equal to the US is one of them.
Yes. Something that would leave a boot print on it.
