Trump Seeks U.S. Withdrawal from Ukraine Conflict, Considers Tariff Action on Russia
August 6, 2025 — Washington, D.C.
In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intent to withdraw American involvement from the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters earlier today, President Trump stated, “This is not my war. I'm here to get us out of it.”
The announcement marks a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy, as Trump emphasized his administration’s desire to de-escalate military commitments abroad. The President made it clear that he aims to prioritize American interests and avoid what he described as “entanglements in foreign conflicts.”
In addition to the withdrawal plans, Trump revealed that Washington is currently reviewing the possibility of imposing tariffs on Russia and its trading partners. He noted that this move would be contingent upon the outcome of upcoming negotiations between Moscow and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff.
“We will see what happens during the talks,” Trump added, “but we are prepared to act in our own economic and strategic interests.”
The announcement has sparked global attention, as many await the results of the planned U.S.-Russia diplomatic engagements.
