Washington, January 23
US President Donald Trump has warned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to be prepared to end the war in Ukraine or face higher tariffs and other sanctions. Trump made the comments on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns, on Wednesday. Trump called out Russian President Putin by name in a social media post, arguing that he has always had a good relationship with the leader, but that it is time to settle this war.
“I love the Russian people and have always had a very good relationship with President Putin,” Trump said. We must never forget that Russia helped us win World War II, losing nearly 60,000,000 lives in the process. Trump also warned that if a cease-fire deal is not reached soon, he will have “no choice but to impose tariffs, taxes and sanctions on anything Russia sells to the United States and other participating countries.” “.
Trump has called for a ceasefire in Ukraine for months, urging both sides to negotiate. Russian forces invaded Ukraine in early 2022, and both sides have suffered heavy losses in the nearly three-year war since then. During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly said that if he was elected president, he could resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day. News-Patiala
