President Donald Trump told correspondents during a meeting with NATO President Mark Retti on Monday that European NATO members will finance billions of US military equipment, including Patriot missiles, for Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin with a huge, indirect tariff if peace is not made in 50 days.
Trump explained that if Putin does not end his invasion of Ukraine in 50 days, his proposed system will start “secondary definitions” on the Russian economy. While Western countries imposed a direct tariff on Russia for years with mixed success, the concept of secondary definitions is to put penal fees on countries that buy Russian exports, and encourage them to separate from trading with Moscow.
China and India are the largest agent of Russian crude oil, for example, and they may face a 100 percent new tariff for business with Russia in 50 days, at the beginning of September.
President Trump also announced a new deal with European NATO allies to enable the new rush of weapons to Ukraine to continue to fight Russia. Unlike the recent administration, the president said, these weapons will be made in America but are completely funded by Europe, which actually creates a significant flow of foreign investment in American companies and jobs.
Trump also talked about how first lady Melania Trump is his essential force when he deeply involved in peace negotiations in the Ukrainian war.
“I am talking [Putin a lot]”It was a nice phone call,” it was a nice phone call, “Trump recalls. Then she says, “Oh? Another city has just been injured.”
Sanctions and weapons advertisements were issued alongside NATO Secretary -General Mark Root, who described the deal as “really large”.
“Europe ascends,” confirmed. “Ukraine can obtain a large number of military equipment for air defense, as well as missiles, ammunition, etc.”
He added: “If you are Vladimir Putin today and I hear what you plan to do in 50 days, I will review that I should reach negotiations on Ukraine more seriously.”
The accurate conditions of the weapons deal were not clear, but both men made it clear that the initial rush will be presented by the European states shipping more of its own weapons, missile and ammunition stores to Ukraine, then filling its reserves with new production from the United States.
President Trump said: “We concluded today’s deal, as we will send them weapons and will pay for them,” President Trump said. “They will be sent to NATO, NATO may choose to send some to other countries where we can get an additional small speed where the country can launch something, it will often be in an alternative form.”
“The countries will quickly transfer the equipment to Ukraine, and later the United States fill the fact that the speed is from essence,” Rutte has developed, “taking into account what the United States needs, you cannot have a shopping menu as it overlooks everything you want because the United States must make sure that it maintains what you need to maintain the safe world, because you are the police worker in the whole world.”
President Trump said, in a specific case, that one of the non -specific countries that were about to receive 17 full national air defense systems have agreed to delay this delivery, so some of these ready -made batteries can go to Ukraine. Then they are waiting for the production to be honored in the future.
Ukraine in particular gives national missiles because they are effective in shooting down Russian ballistic missiles that are raining daily on Ukrainian cities.
On customs duties on world customers in Russia and the Russian economy in general, President Trump said he was “very happy” with Vladimir Putin because he is always ready to talk about peace but not behavior. On the upcoming punitive definitions of Russia depriving its global commercial partners and allies, President Trump said: “We will make a very severe tariff … Carrying out the secondary definitions if we do not have a 50 -day deal, it is very simple, and we will be 100 percent, and this is the case, it cannot be easier. I hope we do not have to do this.”
One of the main areas of Russian exports that managed to continue to earn a large amount of foreign money through the war is energy.
China and India dominate the purchases of coal and oil, State analysisThe slapping of a Mega-100 percent tariff for these countries may be difficult enough. But in other areas, the United States and Ukraine allies continue to buy huge amounts of Russian energy, even during Moscow’s sanctions and criticism elsewhere.

President Trump recommended that Russia stops fighting and instead focuses on opening trade in the West in an era of peace, saying: “From Putin’s point of view, its economy is going very badly, and it has to regain its economy and save his country … He has obtained a great country for trading, and he can use assets instead of war. He has obtained some huge potential.”
