Trump is negotiating. He tried one way, now he is trying another.

That is, start sending Ukraine weapons to punish Russia. Additionally he may also impose further sanctions on Russia. He has also given the Russians a deadline.

Similar to what happened with Iran.

@SumKindaMunster Two weeks ago he suddenly ceased the supply of arms to Ukraine, without warning or explanation. Now he has reversed that decision. He has threatened Russia with 100% secondary tariffs on its trading partners if a deal to end the war is not reached within 50 days. The Russian stock market ended 3% higher, partly because the sanctions are less severe than anticipated, partly because it is widely expected that Trump will not follow through with the threat.

He is not in a strong negotiating position.

@SunshineGirl Weren't you the person who believed Nixon ordered the National Guard to shoot the Kent State students?

@SunshineGirl He hasn't even enacted the sanctions yet. And when he does, it will take some time to have an effect. You can't figure that one out for yourself? I'd say he's in a MUCH better negotiating position than his predecessor, Biden the Bumbler. He has to undo the damage caused by Biden's weakness. But make no mistake, he will definitely follow through on his words.
@SunshineGirl carrot vs stick...Trump tried the carrot first. Now Putin is gonna get the stick.
