WASHINGTON — President Trump announced Monday the US will send “billions of dollars” worth of weapons to Ukraine via Washington’s NATO allies — and threatening to impose 100% tariffs on Moscow in 50 days if no peace is struck to end the 40-month-old war.

“I’m disappointed in [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn’t seem to get there,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

“We are going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them,” the president said, with Rutte agreeing European countries should be “stepping up” and paying for the American-made materiel.

Trump did not immediately reveal what equipment would be sent.

The president added that the US will approve secondary sanctions on Russia if no truce is reached, meaning those who are engaging in business with Moscow will also be targeted.

Trump has been hesitant to impose heavy sanctions on Russia, but has grown more frustrated in recent months with a lack of willingness by Putin to get to a peace deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
