Trump Warns Putin Over Ukraine Conflict as Peace Talks Stall

President TRUMP has issued a stark warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating his patience is "running out fast" amid frozen peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. The U.S. leader threatened new sanctions, including tariffs targeting Russia's oil and banking sectors, contingent on European participation.

Trump's remarks signal a hardening stance, with specific measures already implemented against indirect supporters of Russia's war efforts. A 50% tariff on India serves as precedent for proposed 100% tariffs on China and India by G7 nations—a MOVE framed as punishing Russian oil purchases.

Market participants are monitoring the situation closely, as escalating geopolitical tensions could disrupt energy markets and trigger capital flows into alternative assets. The administration's focus on financial sanctions underscores the growing intersection of geopolitics and global capital markets.
