Trump’s “Tantrum Diplomacy” Is Gone — But Don’t Be Fooled on Ukraine

At the G7 summit, Trump dropped the tantrum diplomacy - for now - and backed new sanctions on Russian oil. But don’t mistake tone for substance. Trump has no fixed ideology and little grasp of geography; what moves him is incentive, spectacle, and money. A Nobel Peace Prize dangled in front of him for “solving” Ukraine could unlock real pressure on Putin. So could the spectacle of a deal, or the financial upside for his circle - a slice of Ukraine’s looming trillion-dollar reconstruction bill, or access to its rare earth minerals, the same playbook we’re watching unfold in Iran. On ‪@BBC‬, I spoke to presenter Annita McVeigh about what this G7 shift actually signals, and why the real test isn’t what Trump says about Putin, but what’s in it for him. #G7Summit #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #RussiaSanctions #Geopolitics #WorldBriefing #ForeignPolicy #OilSanctions #NATO #zelensky
