Trump promises trade deals are coming, last chance for peace for Russia

Joshua Gibson FXStreet

President Donald Trump delivered another litany of comments on a range of comments on Monday. According to President Trump, trade negotiations are progressing nicely, and the oft-touted trade deals that are just around the corner continue to be nearly ready to be announced. Trump also noted that he speaks to Russian President Vladimir Putin "a lot", and that Trump is demanding a peace resolution in Ukraine after campaigning on a plan to have the Ukraine invasion resolved within his first month of resuming office.

Trump has suggested that he will impose 100% tariffs on Russia, as well as secondary sanctions on other countries that purchase Crude Oil products from Russia if a peace deal isn’t struck in the next 50 days.
