Trump says Putin wants revenge: Can Europe handle Russian retaliation?
Can Europe handle Russian retaliation? Donald Trump has given the world a peek into a private conversation with Vladimir Putin, and the details sound increasingly tense and increasingly menacing. The US president warned that Putin has threatened retaliation after Ukraine’s major drone offensive on Russian airbases. On a day when Trump is flooding the zone with executive actions from sweeping travel bans to attacks on Harvard and former President Biden, it would be easy for the significance of this moment to be buried in the media noise. The call with the Russian president lasted an hour and fifteen minutes, according to a post on Trump’s Truth Social platform. He said that it was a “good conversation”, but not one that would lead to “an immediate peace”. He added here that Putin said “very strongly” that he would “have” to respond to the airfield attack.
