Trump’s offer to Russia: End the war in 50 days or face this…

US President Donald Trump told Russia to end its war with Ukraine in 50 days or face massive economic sanctions along with 100 percent tariffs.

The economic sanctions would involve not only Russia but also nations supporting Russia.

“We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100 per cent,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

The Republican added that they would be “secondary tariffs” that target Russia’s remaining trade partners – seeking to cripple Moscow’s ability to survive already sweeping Western sanctions.

Both also unveiled a deal under which the NATO military alliance would buy billions of dollars of arms from the US, including Patriot anti-missile batteries, and then send them to Ukraine.

“This is really big,” said Rutte, as he touted a deal aimed at easing Trump’s long-held complaints that the US is paying more than European and NATO allies to aid Ukraine.

“If I was Vladimir Putin today and heard you speaking … I would reconsider that I should take negotiations about Ukraine more seriously,” said Rutte.
