President Trump threatened secondary tariffs on Russian oil buyers if Putin refuses a Ukraine ceasefire, expressing frustration over Putin questioning Zelenskiy’s legitimacy.

Though later softening his stance, Trump warned of punishing Russia’s oil exports, which could impact global markets.

He also pressured Zelenskiy over a rare earth deal and threatened Iran with bombing if it refused a nuclear agreement, Bloomberg has reported.

The Kremlin signaled openness to talks, while Iran dismissed direct negotiations with Trump’s administration.
