Part 2/8:
Just a week into his second presidency, Trump has demonstrated an unusual assertiveness regarding Ukraine. An immediate indicator of this change was a recent post on Truth Social, where he threatened new sanctions on Russia unless President Vladimir Putin agreed to a peace deal. Furthermore, during a global address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he urged Saudi Arabia to lower global oil prices to further cripple Russia's war efforts, placing direct blame on Russia for the stalled peace talks.
