Trump told reporters: ’10 days start today, and then we will impose tariffs. I don’t know if they will affect Russia. They may or may not affect them.’ Trump clarified that he is not concerned about the impact of potential US sanctions against Russia on energy markets, saying: ‘I’m not worried about that. We have a lot of oil in our country, and we will increase its production.’ Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that he was dedicated to reaching a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump told reporters in Scotland before his meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: ‘I am reducing the 50-day deadline to fewer days because I think I already know the answer and what will happen.’ On July 14, US President Donald Trump issued a ’50-day deadline for Moscow to achieve a peace agreement with Kyiv,’ threatening to impose a 100% tariff on imports of Russian goods, along with secondary tariffs on countries purchasing oil, gas, and other energy resources if this is not done. According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Trump’s plan is a ‘business move.’ On the other hand, Europe announces its readiness to spend large sums of money on arms purchases to provoke the continuation of the war, but there are also disagreements about who will pay. While France, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Hungary have already refused to participate in the purchases.
