‘It’s great for settling wars’: Trump threatens Russia with tariffs if Ukraine war is not resolved; issues 50-day ultimatum

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened Russia with tariffs if there isn’t a deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days.The Republican president made the announcement during an Oval Office meeting with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.“We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days,” Trump said. “I use trade for a lot of things,” he added. “But it’s great for settling wars.”“We’re going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don’t have a deal in 50 days, it’s very simple. And they’ll be at 100 percent, and that’s the way it is,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
