Trump Calls Out Putin Again
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA — President Donald Trump expressed strong disappointment Saturday over the continued war between Russia and Ukraine, calling the lack of progress toward peace “very disappointing” and vowing to keep pushing for a resolution through American strength and diplomacy.
Trump, traveling aboard Air Force One on his way to Malaysia, told reporters that despite his efforts to bring both sides to the negotiating table, the situation remains “frozen in hostility.”
“I’m not going to waste my time,” Trump said. “I’ve always had a good relationship with Vladimir Putin, but this has been very disappointing. I thought this would’ve been settled long before peace in the Middle East.”
Trump’s Promise to End the War “In a Day”
Since the start of his second administration, President Trump has promised to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict swiftly, pledging during his campaign that peace could be achieved “in one day.” The President had planned a high-level meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but he called it off — saying the talks wouldn’t be worth it “until real progress is possible.”
Trump pointed to his earlier diplomatic successes as proof that peace is possible through firm leadership.
“We achieved peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia — something nobody could do,” Trump recalled. “Putin even told me, ‘That was amazing.’ We got it done.”
Trump’s Record on Peace: Critics Stay Silent
Trump’s allies have long argued that his leadership deserves recognition — even a Nobel Peace Prize — for helping to stabilize regions that others couldn’t. But as usual, the mainstream media has stayed silent, focusing instead on criticism rather than accomplishment.
Meanwhile, hopes for peace in the Middle East remain uncertain as Hamas refuses to lay down its weapons, despite a ceasefire deal backed by the Trump administration.
Trump’s Sanctions Send Shockwaves Through Moscow
Earlier this week, Trump took decisive action by imposing new sanctions on Russian oil companies, sending a clear message that America will not tolerate aggression. The move triggered outrage in Moscow.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev lashed out online, calling the U.S. “an adversary” and accusing Trump of taking “the path of war.”
“Of course, people will say he had no choice,” Medvedev wrote. “But this is an act of war against Russia.”
Trump dismissed the comments, saying that Russia’s hatred for Ukraine continues to block peace progress.
“Frankly, I thought this would be easier,” he said. “But there’s a lot of hatred between the two sides.”
China and India Step Back from Russian Oil
Looking ahead, President Trump said he’s urging Chinese President Xi Jinping to further reduce oil purchases from Russia — a move he believes could bring Moscow to the table.
“You probably saw today, China is cutting back substantially on Russian oil,” Trump said. “India has stopped completely. We’ve put tough sanctions in place — and that’s how we’ll get this war to end.”
A President Focused on Peace Through Strength
As the war drags into its fourth year, Trump continues to frame his leadership as the antidote to global chaos. His approach — peace through strength, diplomacy through action — stands in stark contrast to the weakness and confusion many Americans associate with past administrations.
With America’s energy independence restored, and allies responding to U.S. leadership again, Trump says his goal remains the same: ending endless wars and putting America First.
