Trump issued Russia an ultimatum and discussed American weapons procurement for Ukraine at Europe's expense.

According to hvylya.net: U.S. President Donald Trump during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House on July 14 announced decisive measures against Russia in the absence of progress on the Ukrainian issue.

According to Trump, the U.S. is ready to impose secondary sanctions against Russia and its trading partners if an agreement on Ukraine is not reached within 50 days. The stake aims for 100% tariff collections from the value of goods.

'If we do not reach an agreement within 50 days, then 100%, and that’s how it is. It doesn’t get simpler than that,' the American president stated, emphasizing his determination.

Trump also announced an agreement between the U.S. and NATO regarding supplying weapons to Ukraine. Under the new plan, the costs for this purpose are placed on European countries, while the U.S. will ensure production. 'We are sending our weapons to Ukraine, we will not pay, but we will produce the best weapons,' Trump explained.

NATO will coordinate the supply of weapons, determining the directions of shipment. Separately, the U.S. will conduct negotiations with Germany regarding the urgent supply of Patriot missile systems.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte expressed support for the tough position of the U.S., stating: 'If I were in Putin's place and heard what you plan for the next 50 days, I would think whether to sit at the negotiating table with Ukraine. This is great news for Ukraine.'

The new sanctions will affect not only Russia, but also its trading partners, which could significantly impact global trade and Russia's economic ties with other countries.

Conclusion:

Donald Trump expressed determination to impose sanctions against Russia if the Ukrainian issue is not resolved and supported the agreement for supplying weapons to Ukraine through NATO. This could lead to serious losses for Russian exports and changes in geopolitical terms, causing disappointment in Vladimir Putin's actions.
