Trump: "If Russia does not reach a peace agreement with Ukraine within 50 days, 100% tariff will be imposed"

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that if he does not agree to a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days, countries purchasing Russian exports would face a '100% secondary tariff.'

According to CNBC on the 14th (local time), President Trump, during a meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, stated, "We are very dissatisfied. If Putin does not engage in peace talks within 50 days, we will impose a secondary tariff of about 100%."

A senior White House official explained, "This means imposing a direct 100% tariff on Russia, and secondary sanctions on third countries that purchase Russian crude oil and other goods."

This remark is seen as part of President Trump's "major announcement related to Russia" that he previewed last week. It is expected to create global repercussions, especially for highly energy-dependent European countries, as well as major importers such as China, India, and Brazil.

In March, President Trump also stated that he would impose a secondary tariff on Russian crude oil if a peace agreement to end the war with Russia failed, but this is the first time he has specified a deadline.

However, President Trump did not specifically mention which items would be subject to the tariff on this occasion.
