Kremlin Says Trump's Sanctions Threat over Ukraine War Has Not Killed Off US-Russia Talks

UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Despite a 50-day ceasefire deadline and sanctions threat from U.S. President Donald Trump, Kremlin officials say diplomatic talks with Washington continue amid unresolved issues.

  • Last Monday, President Donald Trump threatened a 100% tariff on Russia, setting a 50-day ceasefire deadline.
  • According to Axios, Vladimir Putin told Trump on July 3 he planned an offensive, two peace-talk rounds occurred earlier this year in Turkey, and the 60th day falls on September 1.
  • Asked on Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, `We assume that this is not what it means.`, adding `Of course, these are different issues.`, and the Russian Foreign Ministry criticised missile pledges.
  • The Kremlin said tougher U.S. measures do not end talks, calling ties `in a deplorable state`.
  • No date has been set for a third round of talks, and with US-Russia trade minimal, economist Justin Wolfers said tariffs would have little effect.
