Trump says 'very angry' with Putin over Ukraine truce talks

American broadcaster NBC reported Trump was "pissed off" with Putin over Ukraine and threatened to hit Moscow with secondary tariffs on Russian oil.

United States President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed anger with Russian President Vladimir Putin and threatened secondary tariffs on Russian oil should the two not reach a deal to stop fighting in Ukraine.

The reported comments come amid the Trump administration's push to end to the war between Russiaand Ukraine.

Trump says angry with Putin over comments calling for new administration in Ukraine

NBC journalist Kristen Welker said Trump had called her in an exclusive interview and expressed his frustration at the Russian leader.

"If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia's fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia."

The threat of 25% tariffs on Russian oil could happen at "any moment" Welker quoted Trump as saying, and added that the president planned on speaking to Putin this week.

"I was very angry, pissed off when Putin started getting into Zelenskyy credibility and started talking about new leadership in Ukraine," Trump told Welker. 

During his presidential campaign, Trump had promised to bring an end to the war at the beginning of his second term in office.

Trump and Putin have had two publicly announced telephone calls, the last known communication taking place on March 19.

 Putin's push to remove Zelenskyy

On Friday, Putin floated the idea of Ukraine being brought under a UN-sponsored "transitional administration" that would that would oversee elections in the country before a peace agreement is negotiated.

The White House said it was up to Ukrainians and their constitution to determine the country's governance.

The Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime and allies believe Putin would use fresh elections to try and install a pro-Russian head of government. 

Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of violating partial energy ceasefire

Russia and Ukraine had agreed on a moratorium on targeting energy infrastructure earlier this month, but both Kyiv and Moscow have accused the other of violating the agreement.

Russia and Ukraine had also agreed separately to avoid military strikes on vessels in the Black Sea.

Trump THREATENS Both Putin AND Zelensky!

lunar hail....

The depth of US involvement in the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine has been laid bare by a New York Times investigation.

The report found:

 

1. Secret US Ops in Germany:

As part of an operation called Task Force Dragon, the US army garrison at Germany’s Wiesbaden military base fed Ukraine targeting coordinates on Russian units, equipment and infrastructure for strikes.

US and NATO intelligence officers used satellite imagery, radio transmissions and intercepted communications to locate Russian positions.

 

2. Task Force Dragon vetted and oversaw practically every HIMARS strike by Ukraine.

 

3. Shifting Red Lines

The Biden administration ordered a dozen US military advisers to Kiev, later expanding it to about three dozen.

Military advisers were then sent to Ukrainian command posts.

The US Navy was ordered to share targeting information for Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian warships near Crimea in 2022.

The CIA joined the covert operations to help Ukrainian drones strike Russian vessels in the port of Sevastopol.

US and Ukrainian military officers jointly planned ‘Operation Lunar Hail’ to launch attacks across Russian Crimea using Western-supplied drones in January 2024. Bonus: Counteroffensive flop Political rows within Ukraine, rivalries between Zelensky, then-armed forces chief, General Valery Zaluzhny and Colonel General Oleksandr Syrsky in part fueled the 2023 failed counteroffensive.

THE RUSSIANS CANNOT AFFORD TO TRUST THE USA — EVEN WITH TRUMP — UNTIL A FIRM PEACE AGREEMENT IS SIGNED:

 

NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)

THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN.

THESE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ODESSA, KHERSON AND KHARKIV.....

CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954

TRANSNISTRIA WILL BE PART OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.

 

EASY.

 

THE WEST KNOWS IT.
