Finland’s president reveals Trump ‘frustrated’ by talks with Russia
The president of Finland says Donald Trump is running out of patience with Vladimir Putin after Russia refused to commit to a full ceasefire in Ukraine.
Alexander Stubb said a “combination of impatience and a tad of frustration” had pushed the pendulum “towards the distrust side of things” in the US president’s attitude towards Russia.
The two leaders spoke while playing a round of golf in Florida over the weekend.
Finland shares a long border with Russia and joined NATO after Putin invaded Ukraine.
Trump is trying to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine but has been accused of offering Moscow too many concessions to get them to the negotiating table.

Make Stubb and Sikorski kings of Europe until Putin's gone
Stubb should be all Europes envoy to the peace talks. What great man.
Politicians; "that to expect bad men not to do wrong is madness, for he who expects this desires an impossibility!" M. Aurelius ⚖️💙🇺🇦🩵
Alexander Stubb is an immense asset to Europe. I do not think people realise how clever this man is. He is at the junction of skilful wisdom and diplomacy, for the seasoned viewer it is as important to understand what was not said and how this interview played. A masterclass.
Very impressive. A real leader.
Putin and the Russian govt running the UK would be far more governance effective, competent and professional outfit than the shower of manure that has been running the country into the ground from Westminster for the past 30 years. Can the British people have a referendum for joining the Russian Federation?
Finland chose a great President.
The russians are winning. A ceasefire helps their enemies more. If Ukraine was winning, they wouldnt agree to a ceasefire either. How is this lost on anyonel?
So what. 3 years and no end in sight. Get over it. Constant conflict is the European way now.
Trump is foolishly and dumbest man
Trump could end this war with one phone call. And he can reverse inflation.
Both campaign claims. Unfortunately the USA isn’t short on gullible people.
The Tariffs were applied by Biden and the EU…not Trump
Slava Rossiya! 🇬🇧 ♥ 🇷🇺
2.13._Trump does not want to end the war of Ukraine due to the killing. He wants to end the war of Ukraine because Trump does not want to give more money to Ukraine anymore.
How can a combatant ie the USA claim to be an independent broker , totally absurd .
Stubbs and Trump were too busy playing with balls on the golf course rather than coming up with a workable solution.
I don't trust trump, he plays games with everyone. He has been owned by putin since the 90's.
Of course if people can chip away at their 'relationship' it's good.
That said, i will Never trust trump…. ever.
First stop being delusional
USA been arming Ukraine from day one and now want peace because it's too costly and USA cannot fight two wars, why should Putin trust Tyrant Trump, Russia has been taking alot of abuse from USA. Russia is a super power. It's a tactic designed by Trump for his plans against middle East and Iran
Delusional eu, uk, just because eu, uk is afraid of usa does not mean Russia is afraid of usa. eu, uk first need to stop being delusional.
Nobody should trust Trump or American politicians . Any wise leader will heed Kissinger's aphorism very seriously:
"To be America's enemy is dangerous but to be America's friend is FATAL!"
Trump and lot of republicans are very dense to believe we need to strengthen relations with Russia
Wishful thinking perhaps but what else is there to cling to? I really hope the US will put pressure on Russia and not throw Ukraine under the bus wich I fear.
Putin's Sanctions will be Remaine ASAP.
Putin must accept pease with Ukraine ASAP to stop war and save lifes.
Did they delete and reupload the video because they called him a "prime minister" on the screen text
Everyone gets frustrated with their boss sometimes.
He should be.. He's getting pissed on
