Summary

President Trump has clearly run out of patience with Putin, reducing his 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine to little more than a week. The penalty will be severe tariffs, which the US says will hammer the Russian economy. Yet Russia’s economy is actually growing because of its extraordinary spending on weapons, and because oil once bound for Europe is selling freely in China and India. That’s why former president Medvedev, a close ally of Putin, says that every deadline is a step closer to a far more dangerous situation. So, who is going to blink first - Trump, or Putin? And what happens if neither of them do? Piers Morgan speaks with professor Jeffrey Sachs before also welcoming former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Wesley Clark, author Scott Horton, Politics Dean at Moscow University and Russian state television commentator Henry Sardaryan and British veteran war reporter John Sweeney.
