President Trump has scored a major foreign policy victory. Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to pause attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities for 30 days. This came after Trump pushed hard for a deal. The move shows Trump’s “peace through strength” approach works where others failed.
The ceasefire stops bombings of power plants and oil terminals. Both sides will also start talks on a Black Sea naval truce. Trump’s team says this could lead to a full peace deal. Critics said it couldn’t be done, but Trump’s direct talks with Putin made it happen.
Putin tried to stall with endless demands. He wanted Ukraine to stop getting Western weapons. He even questioned if Ukrainian troops should surrender. But Trump’s tough stance forced Russia’s hand. The deal protects America’s allies without wasting more tax dollars on endless wars.
Ukraine’s leader Zelensky called Putin “manipulative.” But let’s be honest – Ukraine is in no position to refuse. Their army is struggling. Trump’s deal gives them breathing room without handing over cash. That’s smart negotiating.
Conservatives see this as a win for American leadership. Past presidents let Russia walk all over Europe. Trump’s deal shows real strength. By cutting the chatter and talking straight to Putin, he got results. No woke global committees. Just common sense.
Some worry Russia will cheat. Of course they might. But Trump’s team added strict rules. If Putin breaks the ceasefire, tougher sanctions kick in. That’s the right approach. Peace needs teeth. Trump proved that.
At home, this helps working Americans. Protecting energy infrastructure means stable oil and gas prices. No more price spikes from bombed pipelines. Trump puts American wallets first, not foreign wars.
The left will downplay this success. But history shows strong leaders end wars. Trump did what weak leaders couldn’t. Now, the world sees America is back in charge – no apologies, no retreat.
