🚨 Steve Witkoff Meets Putin — Leaves Empty-Handed on Ukraine Talks

Real estate mogul Steve Witkoff recently sat down with Vladimir Putin in a closed-door meeting that stretched over three hours. Despite hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough, the discussion ended with no real movement on the Ukraine front. While the Kremlin labeled it “constructive,” the outcome told a different story: zero progress.

🔥 Trump Wanted Peace — Got Escalation Instead

Donald Trump had been expecting signs of de-escalation. Instead, Russia ramped up missile attacks. Since the last round of talks in April, the conflict has only intensified.

Russian state media hinted at “signals” exchanged between the parties, but nothing concrete came out. No agreements, no timeline — just vague commentary and a handshake. Behind the scenes, Trump is reportedly enraged, calling Putin’s recent communication “tense” and condemning Russia’s behavior as “disgusting.”

🇮🇳 India Gets Slammed with New Tariffs

With Putin unyielding, Trump pivoted fast — slapping a 25% tariff on Indian imports, pushing total tariffs to 50%. The move targets India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, which the U.S. sees as indirectly supporting the war effort.

“If they’re fueling the war machine, I’m not going to be happy,” Trump warned.

As a result, hopes for a U.S.-India trade deal have collapsed.

🌍 Geopolitics Heats Up — Global Stakes Rise

This is no longer just a regional issue. It’s turning into a broader contest of global leverage. Trump’s message is clear:

Support Russia, and you’ll face consequences.

But so far, Putin isn’t budging.
