‘He bombed just one nursing home’: Trump claims that Melania’s comment pushed Russia for strong action; US President makes billions pledge for Ukraine

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that his wife and first woman, Melania, played an important role in advancing him to take forward a difficult stand against Vladimir Putin on the Russia-Ukraine war.During a meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rute at the White House, Trump said that Melania had questioned her optimistic view after her phone call with Putin, who often promised peace talks.“I go home, I tell the first woman,” You know, I talked to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation. ” He said, “Oh, another city was actually killed,” Trump was told to reporters. He said that his response contributed to his decision to increase military support for Ukraine and pressured Moscow, reporting the New York Post.“We felt that we had a deal many times,” Trump was asked to Daily Beast. “I go home, I would say, ‘The first woman, the most spectacular thing with my Vladimir. I think we are finished.” And then I will turn on television or she will once tell me, ‘It is strange because she has bombing only a nursing house.’Trump announced that he would “billions of dollars” in weapons for Ukraine and warn that his administration would impose harsh tariffs on Russia if there is no ceasefire agreement within 50 days. Trump said, “If we do not make any deal in 50 days, we are doing very serious tariffs,” Trump said, “I use business for a lot of things. But it’s great to deal with wars.”The Maga chief also said, “We are going to do secondary tariffs. If we do not have a deal in 50 days, it is very simple. And they will be at 100 percent, and that’s the way.”Trump’s recent declaration indicates a possible change in the administration’s approach to the conflict, which has lasted in three years. His special messenger for Ukraine and Russia met Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelanski in Kiev on Monday, as part of the ongoing diplomatic efforts.Melania Trump did not publicly talk about the earlier war. However, his native country, Slovenia, has removed itself from Russia since the 2022 invasion. One month in the war, a Russian air strike destroyed Slovenia’s consulate in Ukraine’s second largest city of Kharkiv.Trump’s comments about Melania’s involvement were welcomed online by the voices of the pro-uken, who welcomed him as a quiet but influential colleague against Russian aggression. The first woman was recently seen participating in the FIFA Club World Cup final with the President at New Jersey’s Metlife Stadium.
