Trump Turns Up The Heat on Putin

The podcast discusses Donald Trump's evolving stance on the war in Ukraine and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Initially, Trump aimed to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, leveraging his personal connection with Putin. However, after months of stalled progress and perceived manipulation by Putin, Trump's approach shifted. He grew frustrated with Putin's unwillingness to negotiate and began taking actions to support Ukraine, including a new weapons deal financed by European countries and threats of tariffs against Russia. The podcast explores the implications of these actions on the future of the war, highlighting the challenges Ukraine faces despite increased support and the potential for a continued stalemate.
