US President Donald Trump has issued a scathing rebuke to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, warning him to “watch his words.” Writing on social media, Medvedev warned that any ultimatums from Trump would be considered ” a threat and a step toward war”. He then warned Trump: “Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road.”<\/p>\n
However, the US President responded furiously, writing: “Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia<\/a>, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory.” This comes after Mr Trump announced he would bring forward the deadline for Russia<\/a> to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine<\/a> during his meeting with Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> in Scotland. Asked by reporters how long he would set for the new deadline, Mr Trump said: \u201cI am going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There is no reason to wait.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Medvedev\u2019s threat to Mr Trump follows the United States’ threat of steep tariffs if a deal with Ukraine<\/a> is not reached.<\/p>\n Mr Trump took office in January with the position that Russia<\/a>\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a> would never have happened if he were president at the time. He then vowed to bring peace to the region within a short timeframe, yet has failed to do so.<\/p>\n During the peace talks between Ukraine<\/a> and Russia<\/a>, the US President has admitted that Vladimir Putin<\/a> has not been reasonable, taking a more stern approach with the Russian president.<\/p>\n Mr Trump\u2019s response on Truth Social also extended to India, just hours after he vowed to impose a 25% levy on the country and an additional import tax on buying Russian oil.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care what India does with Russia<\/a>,\u201d he wrote on his social media platform. \u201cThey can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia<\/a> and the USA do almost no business together. Let\u2019s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia<\/a>, who thinks he\u2019s still President, to watch his words.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s entering very dangerous territory!\u201d<\/p>\n This comes after the Indian government said on Wednesday that it is investigating the implications of President Trump\u2019s tariffs announcement.<\/p>\n The two countries admitted they were still in negotiations this week, despite the levies set to begin in a few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump has issued a scathing rebuke to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, warning him to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[34051,32,12,58706,332,7661,86727,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-305942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-dmitry-medvedev","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-nuclear-threat","12":"tag-russia","13":"tag-russia-ukraine-war","14":"tag-us-russia-relations","15":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114946505782842505","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
