Steve Witkoff’s three-hour closed-door meeting with Vladimir Putin ended in frustration — and no progress on peace in Ukraine. While the Kremlin called it “constructive,” the reality is: nothing was achieved.
Trump had hoped for signs of peace. Instead, Russia increased missile strikes, and tensions continued to grow since the last meeting in April.
🧊 Putin Stalls, Trump Fumes
Russian media reported “signals” were exchanged, but no details were shared — just vague talk.
The only progress? A handshake. Behind the scenes, Trump is furious, calling Putin’s phone calls “tense” and Russia’s actions “disgusting.”
💥 Trump Hits India Next
With no movement from Putin, Trump quickly hit India with a 25% tariff, bringing total tariffs on Indian goods to 50%.
Why? India continues to buy Russian oil, helping fuel the war. Trump warned them — and now he’s acting.
> “If they’re fueling the war machine, I’m not going to be happy,” Trump said.
A promising U.S.-India trade deal is now dead.
⚔️ Trade War Expands
This is no longer just about Ukraine — it’s about power, leverage, and global influence. Trump is sending a message:
Support Russia, and you’ll pay.
But
Putin still isn’t blinking.
