Donald Trump has threatened to impose high tariffs and sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin does not end the war in Ukraine. He claims that negotiating a settlement would benefit Russia and its economy. While Putin has expressed willingness to negotiate, he insists Ukraine must accept Russian territorial gains. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasizes the need for US troops in any peacekeeping force. The response from Ukrainians to Trump's comments has been skeptical, with many calling for stronger actions against Russian aggression.
