U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday (August 22, 2025) he would make an “important” decision in two weeks on Ukraine peace efforts — specifying that Moscow could face massive sanctions or he might do nothing.
President Donald Trump again threatened Russia with “massive sanctions” over the war in Ukraine unless an agreement can be reached in about two weeks, swerving back to a tougher stance after an inconclusive meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
“I’m not happy about anything about that war — nothing, not happy at all,” Trump said Friday. “I think over the next two weeks, we’re going to find out which way it’s going to go. And I better be very happy.”
