During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on countries doing business with Russia if a peace deal for Ukraine is not reached within 50 days. "We're going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don't have a deal within 50 days," Trump stated firmly, expressing his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he expected to negotiate a deal as early as two months ago according to CBS News, India Times, and South China Morning Post.

He further emphasized his approach, stating, "I use trade for a lot of things... it's great for settling wars." Alongside the tariffs, Trump announced plans to increase arms sales to NATO, asserting that European nations would bear the costs for these weapons. "The United States will not be having any payment. but we will manufacture it, and they’re going to be paying for it," he specified, signifying a shift in US involvement in the conflict according to CBS News, India Times, and South China Morning Post.
