"Donald Trump says he will not have to think of retaliatory tariffs on countries buying Russian oil right now but may have to "in two or three weeks." - Lewis Wiseman

That date in very early September?

If, like me, you think Putin has hard #Kompromat on Trump then Trump's performance today could be;
A. an attempt to set Zelensky up to have to give up part of Ukraine,
B. pushing the boundaries with his blackmailer, trying to get more #Wriggleroom.
C. "Look, I really tried"

Or a mix of those.
