We’re about to see Trump’s real face

Well, the moment of truth has come for Trump. After Putin publicly dismissed his “peace plan” and declared he would continue to “finish off” Ukraine, the White House remained silent for a long time. Trump finally responded, saying he would impose secondary sanctions on Russian oil if Putin refuses a ceasefire.

However, it wasn’t Trump himself who made this announcement—it came from journalists who allegedly spoke with him. I’m convinced this was done deliberately. That way, Trump can always deny his words later, claiming that the journalists “misunderstood something.” But a conversation between Trump and Putin has already been announced, and then Trump will have to comment on it personally.

"So, in just a few days, we’ll see the real face of Trump and understand his true intentions regarding the Russia-Ukraine war."

We’ll see it primarily through his actual actions after this conversation. Will he really play deadly oil games with Putin that could cripple the Russian economy? And will he provide Ukraine with more weapons, as he promised, if Russia refuses to agree to peace?

Of course, it’s hard to believe that Trump will keep all his promises. He changes them far too often. But we’ll get a final answer literally in the coming days.
