"Maybe we should have done it right away". Trump on Russia and Ukraine
Donald Trump humorously suggested imposing 200% tariffs on Ukraine and Russia if they fail to reach a peace agreement, acknowledging that it might not work due to insufficient trade. During a rally in Florida, he expressed hope for an end to the conflict. Meanwhile, Melania Trump facilitated a temporary ceasefire in Oleszki to allow humanitarian aid and civilian evacuation, as the situation there is dire. The ceasefire is set to begin on October 29, with no confirmation from both sides yet. Civil leaders will assess the needs of residents and coordinate evacuations, with some possibly heading to Russia or Ukraine.
