Trump threatens 'very severe tariffs' on Russia allies if no Ukraine deal
"We're going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don't have a deal in 50 days, it's very simple. And they'll be at 100 percent, and that's the way it is," Trump told reporters at the White House.

US citizen who spied on Ukraine gets Russian passport
An American who spied on Ukrainian troops to help Moscow's military offensive in the country has been granted Russian citizenship, Moscow-installed authorities said Tuesday. Daniel Martindale spent two years in Ukraine after Russia launched its offensive, transmitting coordinates of military facilities to Russia's secret services, according to reports in Russian state media. 'By decree of our President Vladimir Putin, a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation was awarded to Daniel Martindale,' Denis Pushilin, the head of the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine's Donetsk region said on Telegram. Pushilin said that Martindale had 'long since proven with his loyalty and actions that he is one of us.' 'He spent more than two years in the territory under enemy control. And not only did he survive -- he helped. He supported our guys, passed on important information to our special services, risked his life,' he added. Martindale received his passport from interior ministry officials at a ceremony in Moscow, according to state media and a video published by Pushilin. Martindale thanked Russia for 'accepting me,' and said becoming a Russian citizen was a 'dream.' 'Russia is not only my home, but my family,' he said in Russian on the video. After two years spying on Ukraine, he was extracted in 'a complex evacuation operation' after Moscow started to fear his life was in danger if he stayed any longer, Pushilin said. In November 2024, state media reported Russian security forces had taken him to Russia and Martindale lodged his application for Russian citizenship. A Telegram account purporting to be his posted that same month: 'Hello, I'm Daniel Martindale, the guy that Russian soldiers risked their lives to evacuate from the village where I had lived for two years.'

China condemns 'coercion' after Trump floats tariffs on Russia allies
China condemned on Tuesday "coercion" by the United States after President Donald Trump threatened "very severe" tariffs against Moscow's remaining trade partners if it doesn't resolve its war in Ukraine within 50 days. "China firmly opposes all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. There are no winners in a tariff war, and coercion and pressure will not solve problems," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.
