While former President Joe Biden will be remembered for the turmoil in Europe due to Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine during his presidency, President Donald Trump is attempting to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into reaching a peace agreement. On Wednesday, Trump addressed the ongoing conflict and directly urged Putin to end the war, stating, &#8220;I\u2019m not looking to hurt Russia&#8230; We must never forget that Russia helped us win World War II.&#8221; He then warned Putin that if a deal isn&#8217;t reached soon, he would impose high taxes and sanctions on Russian goods sold in the U.S. and other countries. Trump concluded by emphasizing that they could resolve this situation easily or face tougher consequences, urging for an immediate deal as lives continue to be lost.
