Trump threatens Russia with severe' tariffs, announces Ukraine arms deal
Briefly

US President Donald Trump announced that the US will dispatch billions of dollars of military equipment, including Patriot air defense systems and missiles, to NATO for Ukraine. This military support is seen as a response to Russia's continued refusal to negotiate peace in the ongoing conflict. Trump stated that NATO members will cover the costs of these weapons. He threatened to impose steep tariffs on Russia if President Putin does not agree to a peace deal within 50 days. NATO chief Rutte supported Trump's measures as critical for enhancing Ukraine's military capabilities.
In a nutshell, we're going to make top-of-the-line weapons, and they'll be sent to NATO. If Russian President Vladimir Putin fails to sign a peace deal with Ukraine, I will impose very severe tariffs in 50 days, including secondary tariffs of 100 percent.
Rutte commended Trump's announcement, saying: It will mean that Ukraine can get its hands on really massive numbers of military equipment, both for air defense, but also missiles, ammunition, etc.
