Trump Gives Russia 50 Days to Make Peace With Ukraine
President Trump, expressing frustration over feeling dragged along by President Vladimir V. Putin in peace talks, threatened Russia with “very severe tariffs” unless a deal is reached with Ukraine in 50 days.
“We’re very, very unhappy with them and we’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days. Tariffs at about 100 percent. You’d call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means. And I’m disappointed in President Putin because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago. But it doesn’t seem to get there. We’ve made a deal today where we’re going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them.” “This is really big. This is really big. You called me on Thursday that you had taken a decision. And the decision is that you want Ukraine what it needs to have to maintain, to be able to defend itself against Russia, but you do want the Europeans to pay for it, which is totally logical.”
