BREAKING: Trump-Putin Call Sparks Ceasefire Talks, Promises of Trade Boom Post-War

In a major geopolitical development with potential global economic implications, former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed he held a two-hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he described as “highly productive.”

According to Trump, both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to enter negotiations aimed at establishing a ceasefire, marking a possible turning point in the prolonged war. While no formal agreement has been signed yet, Trump stated the dialogue between the two nations was constructive, emphasizing that the terms of peace will be determined solely by Moscow and Kyiv, without external imposition.

Economic Ripple Effects on the Horizon?

Beyond the diplomatic headlines, the announcement included strong economic undertones. Trump emphasized that Russia is preparing to pursue large-scale trade relations with the U.S. once the conflict ends. He described Russia’s economic growth potential as “UNLIMITED,” noting that renewed trade ties could generate significant employment and wealth creation, especially in energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors.

Ukraine, too, stands to benefit from enhanced international trade and foreign investment in its post-war reconstruction phase—offering potential new markets for Western capital and crypto integration, depending on regulatory environments.

Key Global Stakeholders Informed

Trump reportedly briefed several world leaders on the development, including:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

French President Emmanuel Macron

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz

Finnish President Alexander Stubb

Additionally, the Vatican, represented by Pope Francis, expressed interest in supporting the peace talks.
