U.S. President Donald Trump threatened former Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev — and dismissed him as a “failed president.”
“Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” Trump wrote in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Medvedev, another social media motormouth, has ridiculed Trump’s ultimatum to the Kremlin, in which the U.S. president shortened his deadline for the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine or face crippling economic consequences.
“Trump’s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10 … He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war,” Medvedev blasted on social media earlier this week. “Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!”
