Russian President Vladimir Putin Agrees in Principle to Ceasefire

(WBAP/KLIF) — Russia President Vladimir Putin is voicing support for a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in its war against Ukraine.

President Donald Trump meanwhile has welcomed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to Washington amid deep concerns by members of the 32-member transatlantic military alliance that Trump’s apparent pivot toward Russia makes him untrustworthy.

Also Thursday, Trump threatened to impose 200% tariffs on European wine, champagne and spirits if the EU goes forward with a retaliatory tariff on American whiskey on April 1. And the Trump administration is accusing organizations that provide temporary housing and other aid to migrants of possibly violating a law used to prosecute smugglers. Fox News is also reporting that Pres. Trump also threatened to ruin the Russian economy, by cutting off their oil supply.
