(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump’s deadline for Russia to move toward peace with Ukraine or face steep sanctions from the United States has arrived.
The White House said economic consequences for Russia and its trade partners are still expected, and that Trump won’t back down on the ceasefire time limit he set for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Consequences have already been felt by one of Russia’s top trade partners. Trump hit India with an additional 25% tariff earlier this week, punishing the country for its role as the second-largest importer of Russian oil, behind China — which is facing a Tuesday deadline to agree to a tariff deal with the U.S.
