YouTube Description
as posted by the channelVladimir Putin believes he has a strong hand ahead of a phone call Monday with Donald Trump as European leaders are trying to prevent the US president from rushing through a deal. Putin is confident that his forces can break through Ukraine’s defenses by the end of the year to take full control of four regions that he has claimed for Russia, according to a person familiar with the Russian president’s thinking who asked not to named discussing private conversations. That means the Russian president is unlikely to offer any meaningful concessions to Trump when the two leaders speak and European officials are worried that Trump may try to force through a settlement regardless. In market news, longer-dated Treasury yields rose to the psychological 5% level and S&P 500 Index futures slid with the dollar after a downgrade of the US’s credit score by Moody’s Ratings increased concerns over the nation’s debt. Moody’s announced Friday evening it was stripping the American government of its top credit rating, dropping the country to Aa1 from Aaa. The company, which trailed rivals, blamed successive presidents and congressional lawmakers for a ballooning budget deficit it said showed little sign of narrowing.
