Trump threatens Russia with 100% tariff if Ukraine War continues

“Putin really surprised a lot of people. He speaks beautiful and then bombarding everyone at night,” said the American.

US President announced yesterday that the United States will send Patriot Air Defense Systems to Ukraine. Declaration appeared as a turnaround, as he said only two weeks ago Washington would suspend the supply of weapons to Kiev.

Patriot is considered one of the most advanced air defense systems in the US Arsenal and has been in service since the 1980s. The system may intercept aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, depending on the interceptor used. The cost of Patriot interceptors is estimated at about $ 4 million per missile (about R $ 22.2 million).

“We will send the Patriot, which they need desperately,” Trump announced, without specifying how many units will be sent to Ukraine, which faces the intensification of the Russian offensive that began in 2022.

Trump said the United States will not pay for the shipments. “It will be a business for us,” he said.

Congress prepares law to allow taxes against Russia

American senators prepare a bipartisan law that would allow Trump to apply “blunt” sanctions against Russia. The law would allow the president to “go after Putin’s economy and all the countries that support Putin’s war machine,” Senator Lindsey Graham told CBS.
