00:00And what do you make of this latest move by Trump?

00:03Do you think this is necessary to get Putin to finally agree to a deal?

00:09It is very difficult to anticipate any kind of action from Putin

00:16because Putin doesn't seem to be feeling a lot of pressure, honestly.

00:20But it would be interesting also to see how Trump is starting to use the tariffs as a weapon for everything,

00:26for countries who disrespect him or for countries who will not show enough will to make deals with him.

00:34So one weapon for all, which is the tariffs.

00:37Now, the big question that we have to ask,

00:40why is Russia so reluctant to give Trump back after being the person,

00:45the one American president who gave Russia and Putin almost a lot or everything?

00:51We know that Trump gave the fact that Crimea would somehow be Russian,

00:57that a lot of the territory seized by Russia would somehow remain outside of Kiev's power.

01:05Now, what does Russia want?

01:07Apparently, Russia and Putin knows that Trump cannot become Joe Biden.

01:15And we just heard Trump saying, remember, this is not my war.

01:18And I want to stop and listen again to this word when you say, remember, this is not my war.

01:24It's Joe Biden's war.

01:25So in Trump's core values, he does not believe that.

01:30I mean, he will he doesn't really care about what's happening in Ukraine,

01:33but he cares about his promise, about his ego, about the fact that he promised the world that he will bring an end to this.

01:40And he also kind of promised himself to the Nobel Peace Prize.

01:45So this is very important.

01:46Now, Putin is not giving Trump any relief.

01:50So, yes, Trump is upset.

01:53Yes, Trump is hiring the tone.

01:55But we are yet to see any real content and the big and rough words that Trump is using against Putin.
