During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President Trump formally announced plans to send billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot missiles. Trump said the U.S. would sell the missiles and weapons to NATO members, which would then send them to Ukraine.
Trump also threatened new sanctions and tariffs against Russia if it did not agree to a peace deal.

President Donald Trump: “But we’re very, very unhappy with them, and we’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100%. You’d call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means. But today we’re going to talk about something else. And as you know, we’ve spent $350 billion approximately on this war with Russia and Ukraine, and we’d like to see it end.”
