During a high-stakes meeting with NATO leadership, former President Donald Trump announced that he will impose \u201cvery severe tariffs\u201d on Russia if a peace deal with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days. And if that doesn\u2019t work, Trump warned that a second wave of \u201c100% secondary tariffs\u201d would follow \u2014 a threat aimed squarely at Vladimir Putin\u2019s inner economic circle.
\u201cI use trade for a lot of things,\u201d Trump said. \u201cBut it\u2019s great for settling wars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This bold economic threat comes as the United States officially confirmed a new package of advanced missile defense systems and aid to Ukraine, heightening tensions with Moscow. According to Trump, the tariffs are intended to create enough financial pressure on the Kremlin to force a diplomatic resolution without military escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the Biden administration continues direct military support, Trump\u2019s statement suggests a drastically different approach if he returns to the White House \u2014 one focused on strategic trade warfare instead of boots on the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
