Trump’s Private Stance on Putin Contrasts with Public Ambiguity
Former President Donald TRUMP privately acknowledged Vladimir Putin’s disinterest in ending the Ukraine war during a confidential call with European leaders, according to The Wall Street Journal. The discussion included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top EU officials, marking a departure from Trump’s public equivocation on Russia’s intentions.
Despite this admission, Trump has resisted calls to escalate sanctions against Moscow. The revelation follows a separate conversation with European counterparts where he floated potential sanctions—a position that appears inconsistent with his subsequent inaction. Geopolitical tensions continue to ripple through markets, though no direct cryptocurrency implications were noted in the report.
