About face. Trump sending new weapons to Ukraine, threatens 'severe tariffs' against Russia [View all]

BUDAPEST -- President Donald Trump threatened "severe tariffs" against Russia if a ceasefire deal isn't reached in 50 days over its war in Ukraine.

"We're very, very unhappy with them," Trump said of Russia during remarks in the Oval Office alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Monday.

"Tariffs at about 100%. You call them secondary tariffs, you know what that means," he added.

Trump also announced an agreement with NATO regarding weapons to assist Ukraine amid Russia's onslaught.
