Trump Says NATO Will Fund U.S. Weapons for Ukraine, Warns of Tariffs on Russia if No Deal in 50 Days
- On Monday at the White House, President Trump held talks with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and revealed a plan to equip Ukraine with U.S. weapons purchased by NATO member countries.
- This move followed Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and ongoing Russian attacks despite peace talks, which frustrated Trump and prompted his shift in policy.
- Trump and Rutte announced that several European nations have agreed to acquire billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military hardware, including Patriot air defense systems and long-range missiles intended for shipment to Ukraine.
- President Trump announced that if a peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine is not reached within the next 50 days, the U.S. will impose full 100% tariffs on Russia and implement secondary sanctions targeting countries that continue to purchase Russian exports, including China and India.
- This announcement implies an escalation of economic pressure on Russia and reinforces U.S. support for Ukraine, while lawmakers push legislation enabling harsher tariffs on nations aiding Moscow.
