Donald Trump has issued a two-week ultimatum to Russia, stating a decision on sanctions or tariffs will be made within that period. This follows a strike on a US factory, a development that occurred just days after a meeting in Alaska between Trump and Vladimir Putin. Trump said he is not happy with the strike and will assess the situation. “But I’ll know in two weeks what I’m going to do,” he stated. He also referenced an ongoing conflict, calling it “very stupid” and noting that one side is “losing 7,000 people a week, mostly soldiers.” Trump expressed a desire to stop the fighting, which he now considers the “most difficult” to resolve.
