Trump Issues Ultimatum to Russia: Ceasefire or Face 100% Secondary Tariffs

President TRUMP has given Russia a 50-day deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, threatening sweeping trade penalties if Moscow fails to comply. "After that happens three or four times, you say, 'The talk doesn’t mean anything,'" Trump remarked, referencing repeated missile strikes following diplomatic calls. The ultimatum follows a previously unfulfilled two-week deadline set three months ago.

Military support for Ukraine will continue through NATO, with the alliance overseeing funding and weapons distribution rather than direct U.S. involvement. While specifics on arms shipments remain undisclosed, the MOVE signals coordination with European partners amid escalating pressure on Putin. "We’re going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don’t have a deal," Trump warned, underscoring the September cutoff for negotiations.
