Background:

• Bloomberg previously reported that the Kremlin is considering several concessions to Trump as part of his efforts to end Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
• One possible proposal mentioned by the agency is a suspension of drone and missile strikes as a gesture of de-escalation.
• In recent weeks, Trump has increased his criticism of Russia. He has stated that lowering global energy prices could pressure Putin to stop the war in Ukraine.
• Trump has also floated the idea of a "significant" tariff increase on Indian imports within the next 24 hours due to India’s purchases of Russian oil.
