Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? Trump Denies Putin Demanded Aid Freeze

Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up. Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation. The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire. Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals. #TrumpPutinTalk #UkraineMilitaryAid #TrumpUkraineAid #TrumpPutinCall #PutinCeasefireConditions #RussiaUkraineCeasefire #Zelensky #TrumpNews #TrumpOnRussiaUkraine #TrumpPutinMeeting #RussiaUkraineWar #PutinCallsForCeasefire #WhiteHouse #TrumpSpeech #RussiaInvadesUkraine ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~

Putin SHOCKS U.S? Russia and Iran Now Officially Allies, Ratify Nuclear Treaty to Defy Sanctions

Putin Iran treaty ratification marks a pivotal moment in Moscow-Tehran relations. Signed in January, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement solidifies cooperation in national security, peaceful nuclear energy, and resistance to foreign sanctions. The move defies mounting pressure from Western powers, especially amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear tensions.
