Trump’s first threats are to his old ally Putin. The new President of the United States assured this Wednesday, January 22 that if Moscow does not conclude an agreement with Ukraine “NOW”, he would not have “no choice but to impose high levels of taxes, tariffs and sanctions on everything Russia sells to the United States and other countries.”

“It’s time to FIND AN AGREEMENT”, wrote the American president on his Truth Social network, assuring: “I am not trying to harm Russia. I love the Russian people and I have always had a very good relationship with President Putin.”
