U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Russia of imposing "massive sanctions or tariffs" unless a resolution to the Ukraine conflict is achieved within two weeks. Expressing dissatisfaction with the ongoing war, Trump stated, "I'm not happy about anything about that war — nothing, not happy at all," and emphasized the urgency of a peaceful settlement. This statement follows a recent summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, which yielded no significant progress. Trump's administration is closely monitoring the situation, with decisions on sanctions pending based on developments in the coming days. (PC: AP)
