Trump threatens Russia with tariffs

WASHINGTON, JUL 14 (AP)

President Donald Trump said Monday he would punish Russia with tariffs if there isn’t a deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days.
The Republican president made the announcement during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
“We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days,” Trump said.
He did not provide specifics on how the tariffs would be implemented. “I use trade for a lot of things,” he added. “But it’s great for settling wars.”
