End Ukraine war or face 100 pc tariffs: Trump tells Russia

Frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin for not ending the war with Ukraine, President Donald Trump today said that the US will impose 100 per cent tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if there is no peace deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days.

During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, Trump said, "We're going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don't have a deal within 50 days. It's very simple, And they'll be at 100 per cent."

"We are very unhappy, I am, with Russia," the President explained. Trump reiterated that he had called up Putin several times. "I always hang up and say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call.' And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city, and I say, 'That's strange.' And after that happens three or four times, you say the talk doesn't mean anything," he said.
