Trump CRITICAL of Putin at last - Trump 47
Trump on Iran - Trump 47
BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5,27pm post the following, " Trump doesn't rule out strike on Iran nuclear facilities..."
Lets Get Real:
This is a firm warning to Iran, either get on the same page or the US will allow Israel to bomb its nuclear sites. Trump is a DEAL MAKER, he likes autocratic regimes, and Tehran in a theocracy, so if they get rid of the bomb and the threat to Israel, then the US can make a DEAL, BETTER to be on Trump's good page, he fawns on Putin and it is like pulling teeth to get him to be critical, looked at his reaction to the recent bombing of Ukraine. The US will meet Iran for further talks on the WEEKEND, Tehran should take the deal, they can not outwait this Trump Administration, so expect talk,talk not War as borrow a phrase from the great Sir Winston Churchill. The Trump Oval is not the Biden Oval.

US Special Envoy in St Petersburg to see Putin - Trump47
BBC News: Reports that President Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is in Russia for discussions on the Ukraine War.
Lets Get Real:
POTUS does not get the fact that he is being played by Putin, Russia has even Chinese Soldiers fighting in the Ukraine. The US if it wants to end the WAR must place pressure on Russia, Putin could end the War tomorrow if it wanted too, Ukraine has a coalition of the willing who are ready to place boots on the ground and as the article states, are butting money on the table, over 18 billion in military aid, the US has not since the Biden Presidency, Putin understands basic power, Trump needs to show him, that he will not be played as a fool.

Putin will want to win in Ukraine - Trump47
Sky News: Reports that analysis suggests that President Putin is going for a WIN in the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
If Trump appeases Putin then his 2nd term will have been a MAJOR FAILURE, the same can be said of the Iran talks on Saturday. 2nd Term Presidents spend their time on Foreign Policy, they have more freedom to deal, after IRAN - CONTRA, Reagan bought the Cold War to an end and signed the INF Treaty, that the Russians cheated on. Trump should look at Reagan for an example of a 2nd term rebound.
Trump blinks on Tariffs, if not China - Trump47
BBC News: Reports that President Trump has paused his high Tariffs, with the exception of China, that is now at 125%, and set it at 10% for others.
Lets Get Real:
POTUS blinked, the stock Markets were tanking, the richest man on Earth and a close advisor was opposed, its shows Presidents can be stopped. ONE hopes that Trump has learned his lesson, don't be a bear in a China shop. This is why Presidents in 2nd terms spend their time on Foreign Policy, greater bang for the buck. At least the stock markets have surged.

Two Chinese Citizens caught fighting in the Ukraine- Trump47
Sky News: Reports two Chinese citizen's have been caught fighting in the Ukraine for Russian.
Lets Get Real:
The Chinese government will be embarrassed by this development, on top of the Tariffs from the US. How will Beijing explain away this development, easy in China, they won't tell the people. On the World Stage it is a different matter, Beijing will have to explain itself to Kyiv and to the US, one is surprised that China has placed troops in the Ukraine, interesting development.
104% Tariffs on Chinese imports to the US - Trump47
BBC News: Reports in its 6.31pm post that the White House has conformed Tariffs of 104% on Chinese goods.
Lets Get Real:
Trump has pulled the trigger, what will China do, have the same Tariffs on US goods, a tariff War looks likely, are we heading for recession or depression, these kind of economic wars help no one, will China keep its powder dry and hope common sense comes to the White House. One has to ask has Trump47 gone bonkers, who can stop him, the Congress is in Republican hands, the Courts take time, the clock ticks to 12am.
