Details
In an interview with CBS News, the US President noted that he had already ended 8 conflicts, and in 60% of cases this was achieved by threatening tariffs to force countries to stop hostilities.
At the same time, Trump once again emphasized that he "inherited" the war between Russia and Ukraine from Joe Biden, and that he ended eight wars in the world.
You know how I stopped them? In many cases, in 60% of cases, I said, "If you don't stop, I'll impose tariffs on both of your countries, and you won't be able to do business with the United States."
But, according to him, this method does not work with Putin.
I acted differently because we don't do much business with Russia, you know?... I think he would like to be like that. I think he wants to come and trade with us, he wants to make a lot of money for Russia, and I think that's great.
