US EditionTrump's Ultimatum to Putin: Ceasefire in 50 Days or Else
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Trump announced a 50-day ultimatum to Russia with 100% secondary tariffs on nations trading with Moscow if no peace deal is reached while approving $10 billion in weapons for Ukraine via NATO.
- On July 15, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 50-day ultimatum demanding Russia end the war in Ukraine or face severe tariffs and military aid to Ukraine.
- Trump's tariff threat, set to start September 3 if no peace deal is reached, follows his July 3 call with Putin, who planned a 60-day ground offensive to gain territory.
- Trump announced supplying Ukraine with sophisticated weapons and imposing near-100% tariffs on Russian goods, while state media in Russia cautiously downplayed his threats and maintained readiness for peace talks.
- Last year, US-Russia trade totaled $3.5 billion, mainly imports, and secondary tariffs proposed could extend up to 500% on countries buying Russian oil like China and India, though risks to global trade remain significant.
- Trump's ultimatum and military aid may increase pressure on Russia but also align with Putin's offensive timeline, leaving uncertain whether sanctions or peace negotiations will follow within the 50-day period.
