President Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs On Russia If Putin Makes No Peace Deal

In the last two weeks, President Trump has let it be known, he’s not very happy with Russian President Valdimir Putin.

Now, President Trump has given the President of Russia an ultimatum: either sign a peace deal with Ukraine or face a 100% tariff.

President Trump announced the tariffs during his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and further shared that the United States is sending Patriot missile systems to Ukraine.

MSN had these details on Trump’s recent statements on Russia:

Donald Trump has threatened Russia with “very severe tariffs​” should it fail to reach a cease-fire deal with Ukraine within 50 days, signaling a hardened U.S. stance as the war enters a volatile new phase.

“We’re going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days,” the U.S. President said during a meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “It’s very simple, and they’ll be at 100%.”

The proposed measures would target any country continuing to do business with Russia, effectively pressuring global partners to isolate Moscow economically.
Trump also confirmed that the United States would send Patriot missile systems to Ukraine as part of a broader weapons package coordinated through NATO.

“We’re going to have some [Patriots] come very soon, within days,” he said. “A couple of the countries that have patriots are going to swap over.”

The Patriot system is a highly effective air-defense platform that includes a radar station to detect incoming threats, a command center to coordinate the response, and a missile launcher capable of firing interceptor missiles, each valued at approximately $3 million.

Rutte will also meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday, as U.S. and NATO leaders consider further joint action to support Ukraine and counter Russia’s military aggression.

PBS reported that Trump’s special envoy met with Zelenskyy on Monday:

Trump has long boasted of his friendly relationship with Putin and after taking office in January repeatedly asserted that Russia was more willing than Ukraine to reach a peace deal. At the same time, Trump accused Zelenskyy of prolonging the war and called him a “dictator without elections.”

But Russia’s relentless onslaught against civilian areas of Ukraine wore down Trump’s patience. In April, Trump urged Putin to “STOP!” launching deadly barrages on Kyiv, and the following month said in a social media post that the Russian leader “has gone absolutely CRAZY!” as the bombardments continued.

Meanwhile, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, met with Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Monday.

Zelenskyy said he had “a productive conversation” with Kellogg about strengthening Ukrainian air defenses, joint arms production and purchasing U.S. weapons in conjunction with European countries, as well as the possibility of tighter international sanctions on the Kremlin

“We hope for the leadership of the United States, because it is clear that Moscow will not stop unless its … ambitions are stopped by force,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram.

NEW: Trump CONFIRMS he’s sending ‘everything’ to NATO….including Patriot missile systems arriving in Ukraine within days.
