Trump again mentioned Russia in his speech at the UN General Assembly tonight (Beijing Time, September 23rd evening): "If Russia is not prepared to reach an agreement to end the war, the US is fully prepared to implement a round of tough tariffs... but for these tariffs to be effective, European countries must join us and take exactly the same measures... they must immediately stop purchasing all energy from Russia."
[Witty] Comment: Trump once again started applying strong pressure in his UN General Assembly speech. However, looking back, from his initial solemn promise that he would resolve the Ukraine-Russia conflict within 24 hours, to now, more than eight months after taking office, he still hasn't found the key to resolving the conflict. Talking about tough tariffs and trying to get Europe to join in cutting off energy ties with Russia is nothing more than a show of bravado due to helplessness. How can international conflicts be resolved by such simple and crude methods? His "America First" mindset only complicates the situation further, without offering any substantive and effective solutions, and ends up being just a laughing stock.
