President Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Russia if a peace deal with Ukraine is not achieved within 50 days, while confirming arms sales to NATO to support Ukrainian resistance. The President revealed that his wife, Melania Trump, convinced him of Putin’s false promises regarding a possible peace deal. Trump was meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte when he spoke to reporters about the ongoing war. He explained that Melania pointed out Putin’s false promises following Trump’s phone calls with the Russian leader amid calls for a deal to end the conflict. Moscow has repeatedly attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles following calls between Putin and Trump. Last week, Trump appeared frustrated, saying he wasn’t happy with Putin ‘because he’s killing a lot of people.’ He said he was considering giving Ukraine more aid to help it resist the Russian attacks. On Monday, Trump confirmed that he has agreed to sell arms to NATO just moments after he said Putin has 50 days to secure a peace deal with Ukraine or face ‘100%’ tariffs. ‘This is again European nations standing up,’ Rutte said. ‘I’ve been in contact with many countries. I can tell you at this moment Germany, massively, but also Finland and Denmark and Sweden and Norway — we have the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Canada — they all want to be part of this.’ ‘And this is only the first wave. There will be more,’ Rutte confirmed. ‘So what we will do is work through the NATO systems to make sure that we know what Ukrainians need.’
