Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling for an immediate end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump has threatened Russia with “taxes, tariffs, and sanctions” and urged OPEC nations to lower oil prices, aiming to pressure Moscow economically. While Russian nationalists have criticized Trump as “arrogant” and “insulting,” Putin has expressed willingness to engage in talks. Analysts suggest Trump is preparing leverage ahead of potential negotiations with the Kremlin, raising global anticipation about the outcome.
