US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to former Russian President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, urging him to 'watch his words' following Medvedev's criticism of Trump's foreign policy, as reported by The Hill.
Trump took to Truth Social, dismissing concerns over Russia's cooperation with India, citing minimal US-India trade due to high tariffs. He warned Medvedev, calling him a 'failed former President,' to avoid endangering US-Russian relations.
The president also indicated plans to impose a 25% tariff on India for its purchases from Russia, escalating his demand for an expedited peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump emphasized the urgency during talks with British PM Keir Starmer, threatening more sanctions.
