In his 19th week in office, President Donald Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and accused China of failing to uphold the terms of a bilateral trade agreement.

Speaking at a press conference, Trump addressed escalating tensions with both nations, emphasizing his administration’s focus on protecting American interests.

Trump accused Putin of interfering in global energy markets, claiming Russia’s actions were destabilizing NATO allies. “Putin’s playing games with oil prices, and it’s hurting our friends in Europe.

We’re watching closely,” Trump stated, without providing specific evidence. He reiterated his commitment to strengthening U.S. energy independence to counter Russia’s influence.

On China, Trump expressed frustration over what he described as Beijing’s failure to meet commitments outlined in a recent trade deal. “China’s not buying what they promised—our farmers and manufacturers are getting shortchanged,” he said.

The president pointed to delays in agricultural purchases and intellectual property disputes as key issues, vowing to impose stricter measures if compliance doesn’t improve.

The remarks come amid ongoing trade negotiations and heightened geopolitical friction.

White House officials indicated that Trump’s administration is preparing new sanctions on Russian entities and reviewing tariffs on Chinese goods. Critics argue the rhetoric risks escalating tensions, while supporters praise Trump’s tough stance
