According to US President Donald Trump, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could reach a resolution soon, provided that NATO adheres to his directives.
The President has called on all member nations of the alliance to cease purchasing oil from Russia, which he believes has diminished their leverage. Furthermore, he advocates for the implementation of significant sanctions against Russia once there is consensus among NATO countries.
Trump emphasized that this conflict does not originate from him; it would not have escalated had he been in office at that time. He reiterated his position by stating that this situation belongs to Biden and Zelenskyy, asserting his willingness to assist in halting it and preserving “thousands of lives on both sides.”
“If NATO follows my guidance, we can bring an end to this war swiftly and save countless lives! Otherwise, you are merely squandering my time as well as the resources of the United States,” Trump stated.
He also expressed confidence that imposing tariffs ranging from 50% to 100% on China by all NATO members would be beneficial since China exerts considerable influence over Russia. He believes these substantial tariffs could disrupt such control.

Typically, similar macroeconomic trends or threats issued by the US President can significantly affect volatile cryptocurrency markets—especially when such news breaks during weekends when traditional financial markets are inactive.
This instance appears different; Bitcoin’s value has surged nearly 5% over the past week and remains stable around $116,000 despite Trump’s recent warnings being made public.
