"Make a deal now, stop this stupid war!" President Donald Trump to President Putin on Ukraine War
In a "Truth" post on Wednesday, President Donald Trump threatened to impose harsh tariffs on Russia if the war in Ukraine does not come to an end. He emphasized that he does not wish to harm Russia but will impose tariffs to stop the war.
Trump stated, "I love the Russian people, and I've always had a very good relationship with President Putin – despite the Radical Left's 'Russia, Russia, Russia' hoax." He referred to the allegations that he colluded with Moscow to defeat Hillary Clinton.
He further added, "We must never forget that Russia helped us win World War II, losing nearly 60 million lives in the process. All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia and President Putin a very big favor. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous war! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE."
Trump warned, "If we don’t make a 'deal', I have no choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States and various other participating countries. Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with."
He continued, "We can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better. Let’s 'MAKE A DEAL.' NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!"
Key imports from Russia to the US include inorganic chemicals, precious metals, machinery, lime, and other fertilizers. In 2022, the US imported nearly $15 billion worth of goods from Russia.
