Trump announces weapons for Ukraine and threatens Russia with tariffs
"Trump threatened to impose heavy tariffs on countries that trade with Russia if the Kremlin doesn't reach a ceasefire deal with Ukraine within 50 days. He noted that trade can be an effective tool for settling wars."
"The U.S. will send NATO countries U.S.-made weapons, including Patriot air defense systems, to provide support to Ukraine. This decision marks a shift in Trump's approach toward Putin, focusing on military support as a rebuke."
President Trump warned of potential heavy tariffs on nations that trade with Russia if a ceasefire with Ukraine is not secured in 50 days. He emphasized utilizing trade as a negotiating tool. The U.S. will supply NATO countries with military equipment, including Patriot air defense systems, to assist Ukraine against ongoing aggression from Russia. This marks a change in Trump's stance from seeking personal relations with Putin to now criticizing him publicly for not engaging in serious negotiations. The announcement was made during discussions with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and coincided with a visit to Kyiv by White House envoy Keith Kellogg.
