Trump: There is a "psychological deadline" for Russia to end the war in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters on Air Force One on March 30, said there was a "psychological deadline" for Russia to end the war in Ukraine. The Hill reported this.

Trump's thoughts on Moscow

Trump expressed confidence that Russia would come to the negotiating table, saying that if Moscow tried to stall, it would anger him. "It's a psychological deadline. If I start to think that they're pulling our leg and stalling us, I'm not going to be happy about it," the US president said.

Criticism of Zelensky

Trump also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for renegotiating a mineral resources deal with the United States. “If he (Zelensky) does that, he’s going to have a big problem. We made a deal on rare earth metals, and now he’s going to renegotiate that deal. He wants to join NATO, but that was never planned. If he wants to renegotiate that deal, he’s going to have a big problem,” Trump said.

Putin and the Negotiations

On March 30, Donald Trump strongly objected to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion that Ukraine should have a new leader, saying he was “very angry” about it. At the same time, he threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia’s oil sector if Moscow did not agree to talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump’s statements could further complicate the already difficult relationship between Washington and Moscow. It is still unknown how the Russian side will respond to the issue of holding negotiations to end the war. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
