Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade [Video]

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment [Video]

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War. #Trump #Russia #NuclearSubs #WW3Fears #MedvedevThreat #Putin #USRussiaTensions #NuclearStandoff #DeadHandThreat #WarFears #TruthSocial #GlobalCrisis #NuclearWeapons #BoreiSubmarines #BulavaMissiles #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #NuclearDeployment #USMilitaryPower #RussiaVsUS ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.318~

French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly condemned U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, saying they violate international law and undermine years of nuclear diplomacy.

In a powerful retaliation, Israel has launched a wave of missile strikes on Iran, targeting multiple high-profile sites across Tehran and Karaj. Among the most shocking hits: the Red Crescent building, state broadcaster IRIB headquarters, and the notorious Evin Prison. Massive explosions rocked the capital, with colossal plumes of smoke rising above Tehran’s skyline.
