A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.

Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.

The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.
