The day was 28 February 2025 and the White House was ready to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelsky in an oval office for a meeting with President Donald Trump. When both leaders met, she shook her hands and politely discussed diplomatic matters, among other things.
A few minutes later, the meeting turned into a scream between Donald Trump, vice -president of JD Vance and Volodymyr Zlensky after the Ukrainian President emphasized the need for “security guarantees for Ukraine” to take place.
This began a clash, accusing the United States of Ukraine of being ungrateful for American support and “stopping” of peace talks with Russia – warning: “Either you are going to an agreement or we are outside.”
“You see the hatred that (Russian President Vladimir) has Putin. It’s hard to agree with such a kind of hatred,” Trump said as the world watched the living television.
The greenish, accused of the “launch of the war”, left and an agreement that would give US rights to the minerals of rare soils in Ukraine, was not signed on that day.
Cut until July 2025 – Ukraine has now become a point of flash in the Donald Trump trade war with India.
In the stunning shift of Donald Trump, who once showed a finger at the opening of the Russian-Ukrainian War, he has now trained his weapons on India-entered 25 % of tariffs and other sentences for business links to the new Delhi with Moscow and accused the new Delhi of bankrolling Vladimir Putin.
What led to this shift?
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke on the phone, but did not meet because Trump returned to the White House in January, although both leaders expressed their desire for personal talks.
After one of the calls that occurred in May, the US President said that his call with Vladimir Putin went very well and that Moscow and Kiev “immediately start negotiations” on a ceasefire and end the war.
As Trump sounded hopefully, the Russian President said that more “compromises” were needed.
At the end of the month, Trump – sensed any end of the War of Ukraine – began to endanger sanctions for Russian products and warned Vladimir Putin that he “plays with fire”.
Trump even admitted that Putin did not want to stop the Russian war against Ukraine.
“I’m a very disappointed conversation that I had with President Putin today because I don’t think he’s there, and I’m very disappointed. I’m just saying I don’t think he wants to stop, and that’s too bad,” he said.
Donald Trump often appeared as a merchant and global peacemaking, but as Russia refused to fall with his expectations, the US President began to show grades of frustration.
Trump, floated with his own expectations and frustrated by failing to end the conflict of Ukraine, moved the blame out.
He slapped 25 % of tariffs on Indian goods and announced further sanctions for Indian business ties with Russia. But Trump didn’t stop there. He threatened even more tariffs for Indian purchase of Russian oil and accused the country of “driving” the war of Ukraine.
What Trump once accused of the “launch of the war” is now on the center of his trade war with India, which he used as a geopolitical weapon to justify the tariffs of a “friend” of India.
