On Monday, Donald Trump declared that the U.S. would be imposing 100% tariffs on countries that do business with Russia within 50 days if Russia didn’t agree to a ceasefire in its war in Ukraine.
In his announcement, Trump added, “We are very unhappy, I am, with Russia.”
Russia has now rejected Trump’s demand.
BREAKING: In an insane moment, Trump’s said he’s “very unhappy… with Russia… we’ll discuss that maybe a different day,” but for now he’ll give Russia another 50 days to keep bombing Ukraine before imposing tariffs.

From CBS News:
Russia has rejected President Trump’s “ultimatum” for Moscow to sign a ceasefire deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days on Tuesday as “unacceptable,” calling for continued negotiations and insisting that the invasion ordered by President Vladimir Putin would continue until its goals are achieved.
In response to President Trump’s threat to impose 100% secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if Putin’s government does not agree to a deal to end the war in that timeframe, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Tuesday that “any attempts to make demands, especially ultimatums, are unacceptable to us,” according to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency.
I can recall when Trump campaigned on the promise that he could/would end the Russian/Ukraine war in “24 hours.”
