WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States will send weapons to Ukraine through NATO, and threatened "severe tariffs" targeting Russia if a ceasefire deal is not reached in 50 days.

Trump announced an agreement with NATO regarding weapons to assist Ukraine while meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office.

The plan will rapidly provide Ukraine with the most sophisticated air defenses and precision missiles, Trump said.

"We are going to be sending them weapons and they're going to be paying for them," said Trump, adding that the United States will manufacture those weapons.

Rutte described the arrangement as highly significant, suggesting this demonstrates that Europe is taking on a greater role.

Under the agreement, governments of Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Canada will finance bulk purchases from US manufacturers and ship the equipment directly to Kyiv.

Regarding Russia, Trump said, "We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days." There will be "secondary tariffs" of about 100 percent, he said.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick clarified later that Trump meant "economic sanction" when he threatened "secondary tariffs" against Russia if it did not reach a deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days.

To that end, Trump backed bipartisan legislation -- already supported by most US senators -- that will sanction banks and energy traders buying Russian oil above the G7 price cap and freeze Russian sovereign assets until Moscow withdraws its forces.

Speaking to reporters after the Oval Office meeting, Trump said that the deal with the NATO allies was done and fully approved.

"We'll send them a lot of weapons of all kinds," Trump said. "And they're going to deliver those weapons immediately to the site, to the site of the war, different sites of the war, and they're going to pay for 100 percent of them."

New York-based defense analysts told the Wall Street Journal that the first wave of supplies could exceed 10 billion US dollars once training, spare parts and munitions are counted. A single Patriot battery alone can reportedly cost over 1 billion dollars when factoring in missiles.

Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Michael O'Hanlon characterized the combined military and economic measures as the most significant US escalation since 2022, saying that the dual approach increases pressure on Russia from multiple directions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media that he spoke with Trump and "it was a very good conversation."

"Thank you for the willingness to support Ukraine and to continue working together to stop the killings and establish a lasting and just peace," said the Ukrainian president.

The Russian Foreign Ministry warned that supplying longer-range missiles will make Europe a participant in aggression, according to Tass news agency. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused Washington of escalating the conflict but did not announce specific countermeasures.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday called Trump's statements against Russia a "theatrical ultimatum" and the country "didn't care."

"Trump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn't care," Medvedev wrote on X.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said Berlin will coordinate with allies on deliveries. However, some German lawmakers expressed concern that sending Taurus cruise missiles could provoke Moscow, reported German newspaper Die Welt.

The plan could force Russia to reconsider the security of its rear areas, since assets previously considered safe may now be at risk, RAND Corporation military analyst Dara Massicot told the Washington Post.
