President Trump opened his remarks alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office on Monday by threatening "severe tariffs" against Russia.

President Trump threatened to punish Russia with heavy tariffs on countries that trade with Moscow if the Kremlin fails to reach a ceasefire deal with Ukraine, while promising Kyiv weapons.

US President Donald Trump’s bromance with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin appeared to be in deeper trouble Monday as the American leader threatened “very severe” tariffs. The threat of 100% tariffs came amid growing frustration by Trump over Moscow’s unwillingness to take steps to end the war in Ukraine.
