Donald Trump vows 'billions of dollars' in weapons for Ukraine, 100 per cent 'secondary tariffs' on Russia if no peace in 50 days
The weapons will include 'everything,' Trump said during his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office — though the president did not immediately reveal specifics.
The White House also did not provide additional information on the specific weapons sent over to Europe.
When asked whether 'Patriot missiles' — officially known as Guided Mulitple Launch Rocket Systems — or 'Patriot batteries' would be sent to Ukraine, the president responded: 'It is all of them. It is a full complement.'
'We will have some within days,' Trump continued. 'A couple of countries that have Patriots will swap over, or replace the Patriots with the ones they have.'
'NATO may choose to have certain of them sent to other countries where we can get a little additional speed, where the country will release something, and it'll be mostly in the form of a replacement,' he added.
Later Monday, ahead of a White House faith luncheon, the 79-year-old Trump reiterated that there will be 'weapons of all kinds' sent across the Atlantic, with other members of the alliance paying for them by raising their defense spending to 5% of GDP over the next decade.
'We are going to be sending them weapons and they're going to be paying for them,' Trump said, with Rutte agreeing that European countries should be 'stepping up' and paying for the American-made materiel.
'This is really big,' Rutte, 58, said of the announcement, lauding Trump's leadership in supplying Kyiv with much-needed munitions.
'It will mean that Ukraine can get its hands on really massive numbers of military equipment, both for air defense, but also missiles, ammunition, etc., etc.,' the NATO secretary general and former Dutch prime minister added.
Though Trump used the phrase 'secondary tariffs' during his meeting with Rutte, pledging that 'they'll be at 100%,' Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later clarified that the president meant to announce secondary sanctions on Russia's trading partners.
Secondary sanctions are meant to punish individuals or entities who do business with a country. Should those sanctions take effect on Sept. 2, 50 days from Monday, they are meant to put more pressure on Moscow — which has already been hit with direct sanctions — by deterring further business and isolating Russia's economy.
A White House official told The Post that 'Russia will face severe sanctions and tariffs if they do not sign a cease-fire deal in 50 days,' without providing more details on the secondary sanctions or weapons.
Trump has been hesitant to impose heavy sanctions on Russia, but has grown more frustrated in recent months with a lack of willingness by Russian President Vladimir Putin to get to a peace deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
'I'm disappointed in President Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn't seem to get there,' Trump told reporters.
'I speak to him a lot about getting this thing done, and I always hang up and say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call.' And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city. And I said, 'Strange.' And after that happens three or four times, you say the talk doesn't mean anything,' he continued.
'My conversations with him are always very pleasant. They say, 'Isn't that good? Very lovely conversation.' And then the missiles go off that night. I go home, I tell the first lady [Melania Trump], 'I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' She said, 'Oh, really? Another city was just hit.'
'So, it's like — look, he's, I don't want to say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy. He's been proven over the years. He's fooled a lot of people. He fooled [George W.] Bush. He fooled a lot of people, [Bill] Clinton, Bush, [Barack] Obama, [Joe] Biden, he didn't fool me, but what I do say is that at a certain point, you know, ultimately, talk doesn't talk. It's got to be action. It's got to be results.'
Zelensky revealed Monday afternoon on X that he and Trump had spoken by phone to discuss the US president's announcement, with the Ukrainian calling it a 'very good conversation.'
'We discussed the necessary means and solutions with the President to provide better protection for people from Russian attacks and to strengthen our positions,' the Ukrainian president wrote on X.
'We are ready to work as productively as possible to achieve peace.'

Global shares gain before key US earnings and data
Shares have climbed worldwide and the dollar has held gains as market participants enter a key week for US earnings, inflation data and trade talks in a relatively optimistic mood. Oil prices edged lower after US President Donald Trump issued a 50-day deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine to avoid energy sanctions. Trump signalled he was open to discussions on tariffs after his weekend threat to impose 30 per cent duties on the European Union and Mexico from August 1. Japan is reportedly trying to schedule high-level talks with the US on Friday. Market reaction to the tariff uncertainty has been benign, making earnings in the United States this week all the more important for cues. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan added 0.8 per cent on Tuesday, while Europe's STOXX benchmark rose 0.2 per cent and Nasdaq futures gained after Nvidia said it would resume sales of its H20 chips to China. The EU accused the US of resisting efforts to strike a trade deal and warned of countermeasures if no agreement is reached. Trump said he was open to talks with the EU and other trading partners. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is arranging to meet US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Tokyo on Friday, the Yomiuri newspaper reported, before an August 1 deadline before 25 per cent tariffs are due to take effect. Ishiba also has an election to contend with on Sunday, with polls showing his ruling coalition might lose their majority in the upper house to political opponents who are advocating for expansive spending. Japanese government bonds plunged, with the benchmark 10-year yield rising to 1.595 per cent, its highest since October 2008. Data showed China's economy slowed less than expected in the second quarter in a show of resilience against US tariffs. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to visit the country on Wednesday, with his company now planning to resume sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chips in the market. The US earnings season is set to begin on Tuesday, with second-quarter reports from major banks. S&P 500 profits are expected to rise 5.8 per cent year-over-year, according to LSEG data. The outlook has dimmed sharply since the early April forecast of 10.2 per cent growth, before Trump launched his trade war. Trump's renewed verbal attacks on Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell in recent weeks also offered markets a reminder of the turmoil that his sometimes abrupt decision-making can unleash, analysts said. Investors are also waiting for US consumer price data for June, due on Tuesday, and will monitor for any upward pressure on prices from tariffs. The dollar was little changed at 147.62 yen after touching a three-week high. The euro edged up 0.1 per cent to $US1.1680 after four days of losses. US crude dipped 0.6 per cent to $US66.56 a barrel. Trump announced new weapons shipments for Ukraine on Monday, and threatened sanctions on buyers of Russian exports unless Moscow agrees to a peace deal in 50 days. Gold strengthened 0.5 per cent at $US3,358 per ounce, while spot silver gained 0.3 per cent to $US38.25 an ounce after hitting its highest level since September 2011 in the previous session.

Trump is 'disappointed but not done' with Putin
US President Donald Trump is "not done" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the BBC, hours after he said he was disappointed in Putin and threatened Moscow with sanctions. Trump told the BBC he thought a Ukraine deal was on the cards with Russia four different times. Asked then by the BBC was he done with Putin, Trump said: "I'm disappointed in him , but I'm not done with him. But I'm disappointed in him." Pressed on how Trump would get Putin to "stop the bloodshed", the US president said: "We're working it." "We'll have a great conversation. I'll say: 'That's good, I'll think we're close to getting it done,' and then he'll knock down a building in Kyiv," Trump told the BBC in an interview published on Tuesday. Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine on Monday and threatened sanctions on buyers of Russian exports, with a 50-day grace period, unless Russia agreed to a peace deal, a major policy shift brought on by frustration with Moscow's ongoing attacks on its neighbour. He told reporters on Monday that billions of dollars of US weapons, including the Patriot air defence missiles, would be sent to Ukraine via NATO and that NATO would pay for them. Zelenskiy held talks with Trump's envoy Keith Kellogg on Monday. Since returning to the White House promising a quick end to the war, Trump has sought rapprochement with Moscow, speaking several times with Putin. His administration has pulled back from pro-Ukrainian policies such as backing Kyiv's membership in NATO and demanding Russia withdraw from all Ukrainian territory. But Putin has yet to accept a proposal from Trump for an unconditional ceasefire, which was quickly endorsed by Kyiv. Recent days have seen Russia use hundreds of drones to attack Ukrainian cities. In the BBC interview, Trump expressed renewed support for the NATO alliance. "I think NATO is now becoming the opposite of that (obsolete) Trump's comments come as EU countries near an agreement on a new package of sanctions against Russia. "We hope to reach a political agreement on the 18th sanctions package. We are very, very close. I hope it comes today," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said before a meeting with foreign affairs ministers from the 27 EU countries in Brussels. Sources told Reuters on Monday that all the elements of the package had been agreed, although one member state still had a reservation about a proposed lower price cap on Russian oil. The European Commission in June proposed the 18th package of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, aimed at Moscow's energy revenue, its banks and its military industry. The new package proposes banning transactions with Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines, as well as banks that engage in sanctions circumvention and a lower price cap on Russian oil.
