Trump Trapped in Trouble with Zelensky! Now, Russia Also Shows Him the ‘Thumb’
America-Russia Relations: U.S. President Donald Trump, who has sparked trade wars with many countries around the world and invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to his country for a scolding, has now found himself in a tight spot. After a heated exchange with Zelensky, Trump sent negotiators to Russia for talks. However, reports have surfaced that Russia has shown them the “thumb” and has yet to provide a response to Trump’s negotiators.
America’s Plan Reaches Russia, But No Response Given
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov provided an update regarding Trump’s negotiators. He stated that U.S. officials had arrived in Russia, and talks between the two countries would begin soon. These negotiators arrived in Russia with a plan to propose a 30-day ceasefire regarding the war in Ukraine. However, reports indicate that Russia has yet to offer a clear answer, either affirmative or negative, to the American plan.
Top Kremlin Ally Criticizes the U.S.-Ukraine Proposal
Meanwhile, a senior Kremlin ally criticized the U.S.-Ukraine ceasefire proposal, stating that the plan only benefits Ukraine’s military. It is important to note that the war between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing for over three years. The U.S. has been making several attempts to push for a ceasefire and put pressure on Zelensky. The ongoing conflict has caused significant economic damage to many countries, making these talks crucial in terms of international diplomacy.
Trump’s Relations with Canada Also Sour
Speaking of trade wars, Trump has faced increasing difficulties after imposing tariffs on several countries, including Canada. After Trump announced tariffs on Canada and other nations, a trade war ensued. Recently, the Trump administration imposed global tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, prompting Canada to respond sharply, stating they would not remain silent. Canada announced new 25% counter-tariffs on approximately $20.8 billion worth of U.S. goods.
Trump and Zelensky Also Had a Heated Exchange
Trump and Zelensky had a tense exchange on February 28, which escalated to the point where Zelensky was asked to leave the White House. During their discussion, Trump’s sharp stance was clear. He pressured Ukraine to negotiate a deal on minerals, saying, “Either you make a deal, or we will pull out of the peace process.” During a meeting in the Oval Office, Trump was seen attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He remarked, “The decision by the President of Ukraine could lead to a Third World War.” Afterward, Zelensky suddenly left the White House without signing an important mineral deal with the U.S.
