Trump, Putin Ally Exchange Turns To Nuclear Rhetoric Amid Tariff Tensions | Firstpost America | N18G

A tense standoff unfolds as US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev clash over the Ukraine war. Trump issued a stark 10-day ultimatum demanding a Russian ceasefire, or face sweeping tariffs, though he admitted these might or might not impact Russia. In response, Medvedev, now a top Kremlin official, mocked Trump's deadline and revived chilling Cold War imagery by referencing the infamous "Dead Hand" nuclear system. The fiery exchange quickly escalated, with Trump labeling Medvedev a "failed former president" and Medvedev taunting US lawmakers, including Senator Lindsey Graham. Beyond words, Trump’s tariff threats on Russian oil buyers and allied countries like India could disrupt global trade and deepen geopolitical rifts.
