Donald Trump has said he sealed an agreement with Nato allies that will deliver Patriot missiles and other key arms to Ukraine – and warned Russia it would face severe sanctions if the war did not end within 50 days.
Unveiling the military assistance deal, the US president expressed increased frustration with Vladimir Putin, whom he accused of giving the impression of pursuing peace while intensifying attacks on Ukrainian cities. He gave the Russian president a new deadline of 50 days to make peace or face 100% tariffs on Russian goods, and more importantly, sweeping “secondary tariffs”, suggesting trade sanctions would be imposed on countries that continue to pay for Russian oil and other commodities.
