United States President Donald Trump stressed on Wednesday that if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to stop the war in Ukraine during their meeting in Alaska, his country will face "severe consequences."
Speaking to reporters, the US head of state did not specify what types of consequences Moscow would suffer. However, he insisted that he would be putting pressure on the country.
The comments come after Trump's phone conversations with the European leaders. According to media reports, the US president told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky that territorial swaps might be necessary.

You mean like the consequences that were supposed to occur five days ago?
Get on the Trump Train, Ivan.
President Trump sending a severely worded letter should do the trick.
But most Dems still think Putin helped Trump win the presidency.
This is negotiating.
The only downside to delay is that President Trump may lose credibility on his ability to impose and enforce sanctions - which is not seriously in doubt on the world stage so don’t thank that is a concern
Hey if there are no consequences then what are you worried about just go with the flow our president is Trump not Putin and we don’t need Russian propaganda.

Trump doesn't do tariffs?
Hmmm...
Trump. Putin. Trump. Putin.
Russian bots trying to decide which one to support...at least in public.
Mommy, Mommy, why are the dolls on the shelf only the same color as my skin?
The President of the USA, Donald Trump, has made it impossible for Russia to get foreign currency to buy dolls from China so dolls have to be made in Russia.
That President, Mommy, is a Grinch!
Both Russia and Japan were not happy about the deal but both got enough to sign and the peace lasted until WWII.
Maxipad, you were gleefully counting down the days until Trump dropped
the Big Sanctions on Ruzzia.
Then Trump announced meeting with Evil Putin.
Without The Global Ukie Homo.
You are always wrong.
What, more nuclear subs off the coast of Russia? Going to bomb Moscow?
All Trump needs to do is impose 100% tariffs on India & China. Without those 2 large economies buying Russian oil, Putin can not continue the war.
What he means is he will dump on India while Putin and China get a free pass.
More like a post on TruthSocial on 'how disappointed he is with President Putin'. He's already expressed his disappointment before. Now expect his disappointment to be even more.
How did that threat work in regard to India buying Russian oil?
And, generic drugs were example from the tariffs because implementing them on India generic drugs would result in shortages in this country.
On and off the train you go. Don’t bother coming back on again.
Stop badmouthing President Trump.
