'Little Surprise' Unveiled: Trump Gives Russia 50 Days to Reach Ukraine Deal or Face Penalties

President of the United States Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Moscow: if no progress is made toward a peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine within 50 days, Washington will impose secondary tariffs of up to 100% on Russia.  "One of the reasons we’re here today is that I am extremely dissatisfied with Russia. We are prepared to impose very high tariffs if we do not reach an agreement within 50 days. I hope it won’t come to that, but all I keep hearing is talk, talk, talk," said Trump. He added that the planned tariffs would be "roughly 100%." Trump contrasted this with a proposed bill by Senator Lindsey Graham — which calls for 500% duties on countries that buy oil and gas from Russia — suggesting it would become redundant if his own sanctions were enacted.
