WASHINGTON (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs targeting Russia if a ceasefire with Ukraine isn't reached.

The president announced the deal at an Oval Office meeting Monday with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who is in Washington D.C. to finalize a deal for the U.S. to sell weapons to NATO for Ukraine.

"Ukraine can get his hands on really massive numbers of military equipment, both for air defense, but also missiles, ammunition, etc, etc. So if I was Vladimir Putin today, and hear you're speaking about what you are planning to do in 50 days and these announcements, I would reconsider whether I should not take negotiations about Ukraine more seriously than I was doing at the moment, if I was Vladimir Putin."
