Trump: There’s a ‘psychological deadline’ for Putin to agree to ceasefire
- President Donald Trump stated that there is a 'psychological deadline' for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine, while also promising to end the war.
- Trump's team has engaged in talks with both Russia and Ukraine in recent weeks, and Ukraine has expressed willingness for a ceasefire, though Russia has not yet followed suit.
- Agreements to pause attacks in the Black Sea and on energy infrastructure have been announced, and Finnish leader Stubb suggested a ceasefire deadline of April 20th, while Trump and Zelenskyy were expected to sign a critical minerals deal last month, but the Oval Office meeting broke down.
- Trump told reporters on Air Force One Sunday evening, "If I think they're tapping us along, I will not be happy about it," and threatened secondary sanctions on Russian oil if a deal is not made, but also said he doesn't think Putin will go back on his word.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated in mid-March that "We're at a partial cease fire" and "now we have moved beyond the economic minerals deal," while Zelenskyy accused Russia of intentionally delaying an agreement and called for more pressure, and Trump expressed disappointment with some of Putin's comments about Zelenskyy.
