This time Trump decided to give Putin not 2 weeks as usual, but 50 days. Threatening about 100% tariffs if there would be no agreement.

So fucking pathetic he still won't directly combat Russia with sanctions, all he is really doing is no longer preventing American companies from profiting of the Ukraine war but whatever, I'll take that because it will help Ukraine a lot, as long as there's no restrictions on what we can buy, Europe now just needs to find the finances and they'd be braindead to not just use the Russian assets for finance it.

Also, if you just think about it for 5 seconds, it's an absolutely empty threat. 100% tariffs on what products exactly? What does Russia still export these days apart from authoritarianism? Maybe some Vodka still, but that's about it, then.

That will hit Putin less hard than the fly that just landed on his forehead.
