President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the war in Ukraine, which began in 2022 with the Russian invasion, is very close to ending. According to reports from CNBC TV18, Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a trip to China that he believes there will be a settlement between Russia and Ukraine. His comments echoed those made by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, suggesting coordinated optimism about the conflict resolution. As he heads to the China summit, Trump has predicted 'good things are gonna happen' and downplayed differences over Iran, focusing trade discussions rather than the ongoing war.
On the question of a potential waiver on sanctioned Russian oil, news agency ANI reported that Trump did not rule out resorting to the same. As reported by CNBC TV18, Trump stated that hundreds of ships loaded with oil want to come out once the war ends. He predicted that oil prices will drop significantly and inflation will decrease substantially, with the US experiencing a gush of oil that will bring inflation down to 1.5% from the current 1.7% level. The president emphasized that trade will be the focus of the China summit, with expectations of positive economic developments.
Trump expressed confidence in the US economy's performance, stating that the stock market is already at the highest point in history. According to CNBC TV18, he predicted a golden age of America and claimed that inflation is much lower than it was under the previous administration. The president noted that inflation was nothing by comparison to what it was under the previous administration, which he characterized as having the highest inflation in the history of our country. His optimistic outlook suggests potential benefits from a resolution to the Ukraine conflict, including reduced oil prices and lower inflation rates that could support continued economic growth.
