U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will impose new tariffs and sanctions on Russia within 10 days unless Moscow shows progress toward ending its three-year war in Ukraine. Speaking aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump said he has not received a response from Russian President Vladimir Putin and emphasized his readiness to act.
The move shortens the 50-day deadline Trump initially set last month. The president also warned that secondary sanctions could target nations buying Russian exports, including China. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed he discussed this issue with Chinese officials during recent bilateral talks, signaling potential tariffs on Beijing if Russian oil purchases continue.
Trump expressed little concern about potential impacts on global oil markets, pledging to boost U.S. domestic production to offset any supply disruptions. “We’re going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on,” Trump said, adding that Putin appears determined to prolong the conflict.
The warning highlights Trump’s increasing frustration with Moscow’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized Trump’s ultimatum on X, calling it a dangerous escalation that could risk direct confrontation between the two nations.
Trump, who returned to the White House in January, has campaigned on promises to swiftly end global conflicts. He has touted past diplomatic achievements, including easing tensions between India and Pakistan and mediating in Africa’s Great Lakes region. However, he currently faces mounting challenges in both Ukraine and Gaza as peace negotiations stall.
This renewed pressure on Russia signals a tougher U.S. stance that could reshape geopolitical dynamics and further test relations with major energy buyers like China.
