The US President intends to warn the Russian dictator that if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire and enter into negotiations, he will grant Ukraine the necessary security guarantees and sign Senator Graham’s bill, which mandates harsh sanctions against Russia. Trump hopes that economic cooperation between the US and Russia will help convince Putin to end the war.
