President Donald Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin an ultimatum: End the war in Ukraine in 50 days, or face “100% tariffs.”
Trump made clear Monday he is losing patience with Russia and is letting Europe buy more American weapons to support Ukraine.
“We are very unhappy, I am, with Russia,” Trump said. “We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days.” A White House official clarified to reporters that the president was threatening tariffs on Russia, as well as “secondary” tariffs on other countries that buy oil from Russia.
