Trump's warnings to Putin
Earlier, Trump gave Russia a 50-day deadline to reach a peace deal, threatening 100% tariffs if the Kremlin failed to comply. He noted that he had been expecting an agreement for two months.
Trump also claimed to have reached four separate understandings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which formed the basis for his ultimatum to Moscow.
