“Trump won’t reward the invaders”
He seemed confident that he had decisive leverage over Putin. It is obvious the resource leverage that he would have over Zelensky as President.
Russia certainly needs a deal to get out of the economic disaster that is developing there, but that would not seem to be the kind of pressure that could force a deal in 24 hours.
That kind of instant response sounds more like what you get from having a gun against someone’s head. I suspect that after analyzing the carrots and sticks that could be brought to bear, he has prepared a credible coercive threat to use as a Trump card on Putin - settle, or else.
