Two weeks again. New Ultimatum from Trump

Donald Trump has been threatening Kremlin for months with new penalties if Vladimir Putin does not stop attacking against Ukraine.

Donald Trump continues to threaten Vladimir Putin of ultimatums and terrible consequences. The other day, he again gave Putin “a few weeks” and threatened that if there was no development on the road to the world, he would make a very important decision “.

A very important solution

At a meeting at the Oval Office on Monday, August 25, Trump said “surely intervening” if the conclusion of the hostility was not completed within the next two weeks.

“Let’s see what happens next week or two, and then I’ll intervene. Whether I have to be there, I’ll go there, and we’ll end up with an agreement or not,” he said.

Trump also added that there is a “hostility” between the Russian dictator and the President of Ukraine. At the same time, he emphasized that he wanted Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky to meet.

“There’s a big personal hostility between these two, and we have to fix it. But I want them to meet at first. They want me to be with me. Maybe I’ll go, or maybe not. We’ll see,” said the American President.

Trump also said he was talking to Putin again after their conversation on Monday -and it was clarified that he was “failed” by the ongoing Russian attack in Ukraine.

Empty threat?

The only penalty for the war in Ukraine, which Trump introduced after all his threats, was directed against India – for the purchase of Russian oil. But in this, experts have seen an attempt to obtain concessions of trade negotiations in India, rather than a pressure tool in Putin.

Trump’s additional duties against India begin this week, August 27, and in theory they are able to discourage to buy oil in Russia – its main export product.

However, in practice it is not likely that Russia will be lost in India as a consumer, experts say. They are sure that Trump will soon cancel these duties, and with them the only serious indirect or direct penalty against the Kremlin, which has been approved in the second term in power.

Russia, oil and war are just a pretext for the introduction of these duties, the former US Ministry of Education officer, and now the expert of the CSIS Research Center, Bill Rainsh, is agreed. The real reason is India’s intransion on Trump’s trade negotiations, he is sure.

The United States has three complaints in India, his colleague from CSIS Philip Lac, a former U.S. Department of State Economist in the Joe Biden administration. First, the high role in importing American goods. Second, not preparing to open your market for American -agricultural products. And only third-the purchase of oil from Russia. Therefore, the duties against India as a way to force Putin to stop war raising questions.

Trump’s diplomacy blow

The deadly situation including Putin and Zelensky’s meeting was another blow to Trump to end the Russian Federation war against Ukraine, Bloomberg wrote.

The US president’s shuttle diplomacy with Putin and Zelensky this month has increased the likelihood of first personal negotiations. However, the agency said, these hopes of collapse, while the dictator was taking a meeting with the President of Ukraine.

But if Trump suddenly changed his mind, he was angry and decided to punish Putin for intransigence, then he had a second penalty against Russian energy consumers.

Exporting oil and gas gives the Kremlin to supply the war. The United States has long introduced a complete collapse, and Europe is partially, but Russia has redirected delivery to China and India and continues to sell relatively small quantities in the European market, especially in Hungary and Slovakia, where authorities are loyal to Putin.

And if not a second penalty against Russian energy sources, then a set of pressure tools in Putin in Trump is limited, says American penalties Richard Nefuei.
