1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: A new deadline for Russia. Trump's giving Pottin a deadline

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: of ten or twelve days to make a deal with

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: over Ukraine.

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to make a new deadline of about ten,

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: ten or twelve days from today. There's no reason in waiting.

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: There's no reason in waiting. It's fifty days. I want

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: to be generous, but we just don't see any progress

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: being made.

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: So he did give fifty days. You'll remember otherwise he

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: said very severe terrorists will be coming to Russia and

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Russia's trading partners, which would of course include China. So

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: what happens here? Tony Waterman, us correspondent, Feature story in

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: News Tony, good morning, welcome to the program.

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 3: Good morning, Thanks for having me, Tony.

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: What is anyone taking this seriously? I mean, when you

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: give a deadline of fifty days and then you come

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: and say, no, we've got a new deadline. It could

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: be teen, it could be twelve. We're not sure.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: I mean the President has been for months now giving

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: a two week deadline to the Kremlins. So when the

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: fifty day deadline was announced earlier this month, everybody said,

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: that is an extremely long runway for Russia and everybody

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: kind of shrugged it off. So whether or not we

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: see anything in the next ten to twelve days is

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: really up to Putin. At this point, we haven't heard

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: anything any sort of response from the Kremlin to this

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: latest move by Trump. But Dimitri Mendettev, who is the

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: former Russian president, set on social media that Trump's playing

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: the ultimatum game with Russia, but that Trump should remember

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: Russia is an Israel, that it's not Iran, and that

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war,

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: not between Russia and Ukraine, but a war with his

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: own country. So he's implying, of course, that these types

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 3: of games could lead to a war between the United

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: States and Russia. But the President earlier today repeated what

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: has now become sort of his common refrain, saying that

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: he's disappointed in Putin for not ending this war. He

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: feels as if he's been strung along, that the Russian

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: president has signaled that he would take these peace negotiations seriously,

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: and then is bombing the Smithereens out of you know,

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: Ukraine the following day. So ten to twelve days, he

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: left the door open for more negotiations. Saying that a

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: deal could be reached. But you're right with the secondary

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: tariffs that he's threatening if this deadline is not met,

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: one hundred percent tariffs on any country that buys Russian energy.

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: That is going to impact not just China but also Russia,

48
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: who are huge consumers of Russian oil.

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just fascinating, isn't it, Because on the same

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: day you've got him saying I'll move the deadline for

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: China on tariffs and extend that this is the more

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: substantive trade talk. She've also got him saying I'll reduce

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: the deadline on Russia and that could potentially bring an

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: even bigger tariffs for the lives of China.

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: I mean, with this trade ward that the President kicked

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: off in April and then paused and is now scrambling

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: to make all of these trade negotiations, one of the

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: countries that was not included almost the only that was

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: not included was Russia itself. It somehow dodged the trade

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: war bullet when he made the announcement on Liberation Day.

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: But you're right, they could be now facing not just

63
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: more sanctions, which the President talked about today didn't give

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: details but said he would impose more sanctions but also

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: a one hundred percent tariff on countries that trade with Russia.

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: That's on goods coming into the United States. So it's

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: American public again that will be paying the price for that,

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: but they could be at the losing end of the stick.

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: But again, for months and months and months now, Donald

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: Trump has given Russia two weeks to come to the

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: negotiating table to take this seriously and its point, Russia

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: just seems to be shrugging that thread off.

73
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080
