US President Donald Trump has commented that he is disappointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin's "attitude". In an exclusive telephone interview with the BBC, Trump said, "But the relationship with him is not broken." He also added that he does not fully trust anyone.
"We are very sad, I am sad with Russia. If there is no peace agreement in 50 days, we will impose very strong tariffs, almost 100 percent,” President Trump said. Because it wasn't my war, it was Biden's war. Trump has also made an agreement on Monday that NATO will purchase weapons from the United States and distribute them to Ukraine.
The 20-minute interview from the Oval Office in the White House was taken a few hours after Trump announced plans to send weapons to Ukraine and threatened to impose 100 percent tariffs on Russia if there is no ceasefire agreement within 50 days. Is American President Trump really angry with Russian President Putin? "Yes, I'm definitely disappointed with him, but it's not the end of it."
When asked what is being done to "stop the bloodshed" for Putin by ending the war with Ukraine, President Trump said, "We are working on it." I think we have come close to completing this task.'
He also mentioned that Putin still speaks very positively and sweetly when talking to him about the ceasefire and added, 'While talking, Putin insists that he is also in favor of the peace agreement, but soon after, he seems intent on demolishing the buildings of Kiev.' Russia has continued to launch drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks.
Only on Monday, after meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, Trump suddenly turned to Russia. He has also spoken in support of NATO. Earlier, he was aggressive towards NATO.
"NATO is not what it used to be because its member countries have agreed to increase their defense spending by 5 percent," Trump said, adding that the concept of collective defense should also be adopted to defend small countries against big countries. Trump also went on to praise British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "Even if he believes in liberalism, I like him very much," he said in an interview with the BBC, referring to the special relationship and trade agreement with the UK.
US President Trump, who has recently threatened countries around the world by threatening to impose new taxes, is currently on a policy of improving relations and putting pressure on the leaders of those countries for a new agreement through negotiations. In this regard, he is making his second state visit to Britain in September.
Regarding Canada, he mentioned that 'problems will be solved well because they are talking'. On the domestic agenda, Trump has also expressed his happiness that illegal immigration has decreased along the US-Mexico border. He praised the success of the policy of deporting immigrants to third countries and the tax and spending bill as "the biggest tax cut in history".
Trump defined his legacy as the 'revival of America' and added, 'A year ago America was dead, now this country has become great.'
Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 10 after meeting with Lavrov, Rubio said that the US has a strategy to involve all sides in finding the outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
