President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Moscow on Tuesday, declaring the United States would impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia within 10 days unless significant progress occurs toward ending the three-year Ukraine conflict.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed he had shortened his initial 50-day deadline announced last month, telling reporters he received no response from Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We’re going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on,” Trump stated, according to Reuters.
