Trump Warns of VERY STEEP TARIFFS & Secondary Sanctions if Putin doesn’t end war in Ukraine 50 days

Oneindia

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit.    #TrumpVsPutin #UkraineWar #50DayDeadline #TrumpWarning #RussiaSanctions #TariffsOnRussia #SecondarySanctions #GlobalPressure #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #SanctionThreat #CeasefireDeadline #Geopolitics #RussiaIsolation #PutinUltimatum #OilSanctions #BreakingNews #USRussiaTensions #EconomicWarfare #TrumpReturns #UkraineUpdate #TariffThreat #TrumpForeignPolicy #Zelensky  Also Read  US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc  Trump Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc  Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.410~ED.194~

00:00The President on Monday announced that if there's not compliance with Russia within 50 days,

00:06there would be increased tariffs. Can you explain how that works? First of all,

00:10what happens if Russia doesn't end its war with Ukraine?

00:15If Russia refuses to legitimately agree to a ceasefire, then they will face very steep tariffs

00:22and they will also face secondary sanctions. So countries that are purchasing oil from Russia

00:28will be sanctioned as well. And of course, that will do deep damage to Russia's economy.

00:34This administration has spent many hours and a lot of time trying to solve this war very far away,

00:41but the President wants to stop the killing.

00:43Thanks a lot, Caroline. The President on Monday announced that if there's not compliance with

00:49Russia within 50 days, there would be increased tariffs. Can you explain how that works? First

00:55of all, what happens if Russia doesn't end its war with Ukraine in 50 days?

01:01Well, in 50 days, as the President clearly laid out, if there is not a ceasefire agreement or a peace

01:07deal within that timeframe, if Russia refuses to legitimately agree to a ceasefire, then they will

01:14face very steep tariffs and they will also face secondary sanctions. So countries that are purchasing oil

01:20from Russia will be sanctioned as well. And of course, that will do deep damage to Russia's economy.

01:27And I would just add that the President wants this war to end with a diplomatic solution.

01:34He's been pushing for it. This administration has spent many hours and a lot of time trying to solve

01:41this war very far away. But the President wants to stop the killing and he wants to save lives.

01:46As far as the first part of what you were saying, Caroline, it's just about, if I may,

01:51it's just about the tariffs, the first part. I get the secondary tariffs. But there was only

01:56$3 billion worth of trade between the U.S. and Russia in 2024. It's expected to be far less

02:03this particular year. On April 2nd, both you and the Treasury Secretary said it's not necessary

02:10to apply any tariffs on Russia. You said that because of the lack of trade, it precludes,

02:16that was the word you used, any need for tariffs. Why now? And why do you think that that would make

02:21them cave and come to some sort of peace agreement as it relates to Ukraine?

02:26$3 billion is still a lot of money, John. And it's not just tariffs, it's the secondary

02:30sanctions as well that will be implemented in 50 days.
