Trump Blocks Economic Talks with Russia Over Ukraine War Stance

President TRUMP has suspended all economic negotiations with Russia until tangible progress is made toward ending the war in Ukraine. Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska, Trump emphasized that while Putin seeks economic engagement, "they're not doing business until we get the war settled." The U.S. position remains contingent on Ukrainian approval of any territorial discussions.
The Kremlin's inclusion of Russian business delegates in the summit drew skepticism from Trump, who dismissed the gesture as meaningless without concrete de-escalation. New tariffs targeting purchasers of Russian crude oil—including China and India—were hinted at as potential retaliatory measures should the conflict persist.
