Trump Gives Russia and Ukraine Two Weeks to Negotiate, Threatens Sanctions

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is giving Russia and Ukraine a two-week deadline to engage in talks to end the ongoing war between the two countries. If no progress is made during this period, Trump will consider imposing heavy sanctions or other measures.

Important Decision Looms

“We will see what will happen in the next two weeks. We will find out which way it is going,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

The President’s statement comes amidst escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with reports of increased military activity and casualties on both sides. Trump’s ultimatum puts pressure on the two nations to come to the negotiating table and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Photo Gift from Putin

During the press conference, Trump also revealed that he has a photo, given to him as a gift by Russian President Vladimir Putin, displayed in the Oval Office. The photo serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between the United States and Russia, and the challenges faced in navigating diplomatic relations with the Kremlin.

As the deadline approaches, the world will be watching closely to see if Russia and Ukraine can make progress towards a peaceful resolution, or if Trump will follow through on his threat of imposing sanctions. The next two weeks will be crucial in determining the future of the conflict and the repercussions it may have on global stability.
