SUMMARY

President Donald Trump has urged Russia's Vladimir Putin to make a deal to end the "ridiculous" Ukraine war or face new tariffs and sanctions

In a social media post, he said he had a good relationship with his Russian counterpart but if a deal was not made soon he would impose fresh economic penalties

Meanwhile, all refugees' travel to the US is being suspended, following an executive order from Donald Trump

It means refugees with permission to enter the US will not be allowed in, and the processing of new cases is suspended

The executive order on Monday said "the US has been inundated with record levels of migration, including through the US Refugee Admissions Program"

Federal agencies earlier put diversity staff on paid leave "immediately" - specifically by 17:00 local time (22:00 GMT) today

After his inauguration on Monday, the president signed a flurry of executive actions - here's a summary

Trump has been repeating the Biden/deep-state nonsense talking points recently on sanctions, state of Russian economy, number of Russians killed, Putin’s “perilous” domestic political standing, etc....

I assume it’s because he doesn’t want to ruffle feathers while his key nominees for America’s top law enforcement (DOJ-KGB) and intel are all still pending nomination in Senate. Those are the agencies which hobbled his previous administration.

What sanctions are still out there that FJB and his neocon team haven’t yet thought of?

Also, has Trump actually offered more military aid to Ukraine? I haven’t seen it.

Seems to be a mixed message. If you really intended to show a big “stick” along with carrots, wouldn’t military aid be a key component?

So who is Trump directing this message at? Putin? Or US Senate Democrats?

So you’re calling Pres. Trump a liar, because he says Russia’s economy is failing?

Pres. Trump knows the truth ... YOU’RE the one in denial.

If we did indeed cut all funding, wouldn’t that pull out all US “advisors” and get out of Russia’s backyard? Hopefully. We have no business there

Trump is miscalculating if he believes his lying media propagandists who say a million Russians have died and Putin is on the ropes. What do your EYES tell you? Russia is advancing across the board and it has no shortage of men or material. Despite Europe and America having pissed away 350 billion on the Ukraine project-they’re losing.

“Trump urges Putin to end ‘ridiculous’ Ukraine war or face new sanctions”

Why should Putin end Biden’s war?

Because Russia will run out of money otherwise

Because Trump knows how to starve the beast. Plus, I think the deep state and WEF oligarchy siphoned off enough US taxpayer money. Anything now and Trumps DOJ will have a field day.

How long have you guys claimed the same? Nearly 3 YEARS now, and all I see is Russia rolling up more and more land.

Trump signed an EO yesterday suspending all foreign aid for 90 days.

His briefings are from Biden’s people right now until Tulsi is confirmed. Give it a couple of weeks and then he’ll start getting Gabbard team briefings.

Nothing is going to happen of significance pre-Gabbard.
