The world shuddered, expecting the consequences,\u201d Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, wrote in a post on the social platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBelligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn\u2019t care,\u201d Medvedev, who also previously served as president and prime minister of Russia, added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Trump has upped his criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent days, saying Monday he was \u201cvery unhappy\u201d with the leader\u2019s continued onslaught in Kyiv. Trump has sought to pressure Russia to come back to the negotiating table through the threat of potential sanctions \u2014 including a 100 percent tariff on countries that trade with Moscow \u2014 and by arming Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re very, very unhappy with [Russia], and we\u2019re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don\u2019t have a deal in about 50 days,\u201d the president said during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will tell you that Ukraine wants to do something,\u201d Trump said later, arguing the Eastern European conflict has been one of the few he has not been able to help settle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s all talk, and then missiles go into Kyiv and kill 60 people,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s got to stop. It\u2019s got to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) took a victory lap Monday after Trump threatened tougher sanctions on Russia. The duo cosponsored legislation earlier this year to impose \u201cprimary\u201d and \u201csecondary\u201d penalties on Moscow if it does not agree to long-lasting peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors, however, have also largely brushed off the ultimatum. The Moscow Stock Exchange grew by 2.7 percent as of Tuesday morning, signaling a lack of concern that Trump will follow through on his threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nations likely to be hit hardest by an increase in tariffs are China, Brazil and India, which rely heavily on Russian oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graham lauded Trump\u2019s moves as the administration\u2019s commitment to defund Putin\u2019s \u201cwar machine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you keep buying cheap Russian oil and gas to fund Putin\u2019s war machine, President Trump is going to put a 100 percent tariff on all of your products coming in the United States if you don\u2019t change your behavior,\u201d the South Carolina senator said during a Monday appearance on Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd I\u2019m going to make a prediction, they will,\u201d he added. \u201cThey\u2019re going to go to Putin and say, enough, get to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian leaders responded flippantly Tuesday to the Trump administration\u2019s threat of \u201csevere\u201d tariffs if Moscow doesn\u2019t quickly come to a peace agreement with Ukraine. \u201cTrump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin.
