'Either Announce Ukraine Ceasefire Within 50 Days Or Face 100% Tariffs': Trump To Russia
Last Updated: Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration after US-brokered talks have failed to negotiate a truce between Russia and Ukraine so far. US President Donald Trump on Monday warned that his administration would impose 100% tariffs on Russia if Moscow and Kyiv fail to reach a ceasefire deal within 50 days. Trump made the remarks during a joint appearance at the White House with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, amid ongoing diplomatic pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. 'I use trade for a lot of things," he added. 'But it's great for settling wars." Meanwhile, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has promised that Ukraine will receive 'massive numbers" of weapons under the NATO-US agreement. Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration after US-brokered talks have failed to negotiate a truce between Russia and Ukraine so far. On Sunday, the US President said he was 'very disappointed" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of saying one thing and doing another. 'I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he'll talk so beautifully, then he'll bomb people at night. We don't like that," he told reporters, while confirming that the US will send Patriot air defence missiles to Kyiv. Trump's Change Of Rhetoric Trump initially was conciliatory toward Putin, for whom Trump has long shown admiration. But in recent days the Republican leader has expressed increasing exasperation with Putin, criticising the Russian leader for his unbudging stance on US-led peace efforts and for prolonging the war. On the other hand, Trump has adopted a softer stance with Zelenskyy after a bitter public spat in the Oval Office in February, as indicated by his decision to send Patriot systems amid increased Russian aerial attacks. 'This is billions of dollars worth of military equipment is going to be purchased from the United States, going to NATO… and that's going to be quickly distributed to the battlefield," Trump said on Monday. Trump's announcement on Monday came as his special envoy, Keith Kellogg, arrived in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian President hailed the 'productive meeting", saying they had discussed 'strengthening Ukraine's air defence, joint production, and procurement of defence weapons in collaboration with Europe." Meanwhile, Russian forces on Monday said they had captured new territory in eastern Ukraine with the seizure of two villages, one in the Donetsk region and another in the Zaporizhzhia region. Three civilians were also killed in eastern Kharkiv and Sumy regions. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
