Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs Over Ukraine Peace Delay

US President Donald Trump has set a 50-day deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a peace deal in Ukraine, warning that failure will trigger 100% tariffs on Russia and potentially on countries trading with Russia. Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, Trump voiced disappointment in Putin's lack of progress toward peace. He announced the US will provide billions of dollars in weapons to Ukraine through NATO allies, with European nations expected to finance the American-made arms. The proposed measures include severe secondary sanctions, specifically targeting countries buying Russian oil and those conducting business with Moscow. This represents a notable escalation in US policy, reflecting Trump's growing frustration with Russia's actions. The announcement is intended to intensify diplomatic and economic pressure on Moscow.
