U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States will impose "very severe tariffs" on Russia in 50 days if there is no deal to stop the war in Ukraine.

Trump made the announcement of what he said would be a 100 per cent tariff rate while meeting with reporters alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office in Washington, D.C.

Trump also said the United States will send military aid to help Ukraine in its war effort, but that NATO members, not American taxpayers, would cover the cost of the weapons.

"We're going to make top-of-the-line weapons, and they'll be sent to NATO," he said.
