It gives Vladimir Putin 50 days to end the war. Otherwise, the sanction will fall. The US president threatens to impose “very severe” customs rates to Russia and his allies like China. That is why he listens to 100%rights.
After six months of failure in the Ukrainian archive, Donald Trump believes that “you have to take measures and obtain results.”
Last week, the White House tenant already seemed to start a change of approach, said “studying very closely” a republican bill destined to impose customs duties up to 500% in countries that buy oil, gas or uranium in Moscow.
“A big problem”
Therefore, Donald Trump could attack the Russian economy. This is what Europeans have been asking for a long time to see that their only sanctions are not enough to do Putin Bend. Russia’s economy is “very bad,” says the US president. Then there is a lever, a defect to explode.
According to experts, severe economic sanctions along with greater military support could promote that Kremlin has really negotiated. And it turns out that Trump has just committed to a massive restart of Ukraine.
Patriot Anti -Aircraft Defense will be provided in particular. NATO general secretary, Mark Rutte, who was in the White House yesterday, applauded. The German chancellor too. He believes that “President Trump has taken an important step.”
Credible threat?
Vladimir Putin has not yet reacted to these ads. With respect to the ultimatum, will the Kremlin chief be taken seriously? Nothing is less safe.
In June, Trump, already exasperated, had given him two weeks to finish the war. The delay had expired without anything happened. The new deadline, scheduled for September 2, could be postponed.
The US president has attacked his Russian counterpart on several occasions. Every time, the Kremlin reacted diplomatically, but not without a touch of cynicism sometimes.
When Trump admitted that it was more difficult to end the war than he thought, Putin replied: “It is like that, life is always more complicated than you think.”
Division risk
Trump’s revised strategy could divide his own camp. Most Republicans still believe that the United States has nothing to win by helping Ukraine.
So how will the non -interventionist allies of the Head of State react? They could be upset. Remember that many Maga supporters had finally supported US attacks in Iran. But Israel is a historic ally, not Ukraine. Donald Trump takes a risk today that he will have to assume with his base, whatever happens.
