In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• First, as U.S.-brokered peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine drag on, President Donald Trump is turning his ire on Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, threatening a new wave of economic tariffs.

• Later in the show, China is pumping the brakes on a deal that would see U.S. asset firm BlackRock take ownership of two critical ports in the Panama Canal, jeopardizing President Trump's plans to wrestle away control of the strategic waterway from the CCP.
