Fallon, riffing on Brazil’s trade troubles, quipped about increasing fruit rates and even toilet tissue lacks, joking that desperate consumers may turn to utilizing “long CVS invoices” instead.
The comedian also poked fun at Trump’s claim he would give Russia a deadline to end the Ukraine war, delivering the punchline: “Right under building a new ballroom to meet Sydney Sweeney.”

The Kremlin has consistently rejected the proposal to meet Trump alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. On Thursday, it reportedly said a US–Russia summit would take place only if Zelenskyy were not present.
Fallon’s blend of satire and celebrity gossip is a staple of his show.
Priyanka Chopra has been among the Indian stars to mark her presence on his worldwide popular show, though on this occasion, it was India’s trade policy — and its oil ties with Moscow — that put the country squarely in Fallon’s comedic crosshairs.
