Trump announced his readiness to impose duties and sanctions against Russia in 50 days.

The United States will impose sanctions against Russia if no agreement is reached in 50 days to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. This was announced on Tuesday, July 15, by the American leader Donald Trump.

"If we don't make a deal by the end of 50 days, everything will be very bad," Trump said, answering questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House.

The American leader also stressed that if he had been in power, and not his predecessor Joe Biden, the conflict in Ukraine would not have happened.

The burden on Washington: why did Trump use the language of threats to Moscow

And why will 100% duties make little difference in trade, and Patriot supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not bring them success on the battlefield?

On July 14, Trump announced that the United States would impose 100% secondary duties on Russia if a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict was not reached within 50 days. He also stated that he supports the congressional initiative on sanctions against Russia, but "does not yet know whether it will be necessary."
