Trump threatens Russia: If Russia and Ukraine do not cease fire within 50 days, the United States will impose a 100% "secondary tariff"!

Trump warns Russia that if a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days, the United States will impose a 100% "secondary tariff" on Russia to force it to stop military operations in Ukraine through economic pressure. (Background: Trump calls for a 50% tariff on imported copper, with pharmaceuticals facing up to 200%! Copper prices hit record highs) (Additional context: Trump's tariffs extended to take effect on 8/1! Latest tariff rates for six Asian countries including Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia released) U.S. President Trump made a firm statement on July 14 local time during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, warning Russia that if a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days, the U.S. will impose a 100% "secondary tariff" on Russia to compel it to cease military actions in Ukraine. Specifically, if a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine is not reached, the U.S. will impose a "secondary tariff" of 25% to 50% on all oil imported from Russia, and it may further increase to 100%, with the exact implementation timing depending on the progress of Russia-Ukraine negotiations. U.S. Secretary of Commerce: Trump refers to implementing secondary sanctions However, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick later clarified that Trump actually referred to "secondary sanctions" rather than tariffs. Notably, "secondary sanctions" are punitive measures imposed on third countries or enterprises that trade with sanctioned countries (such as Russia), such as prohibiting transactions with U.S. markets or freezing assets, aimed at cutting off Russia's international trade network, especially its oil exports. Such measures are typically enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), targeting financial transactions or specific goods (such as oil and military products). The so-called "secondary tariffs" are not traditional trade terminology but a sanctioning tool proposed by the Trump administration aimed at third countries or entities trading with unfriendly nations to the U.S. (such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela), intending to limit these countries' trade activities through economic pressure. Trump: U.S. will provide NATO with "the most advanced military equipment in the world" At the same time, Trump also announced that the U.S. will provide NATO with "the most advanced military equipment in the world," including the "Patriot" air defense system, to support Ukraine against Russia's invasion. The costs of this equipment will be 100% borne by NATO allies, with Trump emphasizing that "this is business for the U.S." Experts pointed out that this move aims not only to enhance Ukraine's battlefield defense capabilities but also to bring billions of dollars in orders to U.S. defense contractors while avoiding the use of U.S. taxpayer funds.
