US President Donald Trump made statements in the Oval Office after his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
WEAPONS SHIPMENT TO UKRAINE THROUGH NATO
Trump, whose agenda is the Russia-Ukraine War, stated that Washington will send sophisticated weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot air defense systems, through NATO.
Trump's statements are as follows:
"I AM NOT HAPPY WITH RUSSIA"
It is a great honor, my friend, to be here. We have known each other for a long time. The NATO Secretary General is a highly respected person, doing a great job, and we had a very good meeting. I am very unhappy with Russia, I am not pleased, we will talk about this. We will decide another day, I am very unhappy with him, if we cannot reach an agreement within 15 days, we will impose very high tariffs. There will be secondary tariffs.
"PUTIN IS A DISAPPOINTMENT"
We have spent 350 billion dollars on the war between Russia and Ukraine. We want it to end; this is not my war, it is Biden's war, we are disappointed with President Putin, we have not reached a conclusion. As a result of this, we will impose secondary tariffs, which will be over 100%, I hope we do not have to do it. We have the best missiles and military aircraft in the world, you saw it in Iran, we hit our targets. We have been practicing this for 24 years, Iran is trying to obtain a nuclear bomb. We executed it with the best missiles.
"WE WILL SEND THE BEST WEAPONS TO NATO"
EU countries know, we will send them weapons and they will pay for it. The US will produce, and in this context, the last meeting was very important, we made a 5% agreement, they have a lot of money. We produce the best weapons and we will send the best weapons to NATO. With Mark's suggestion, we will deliver missiles to Germany. NATO will coordinate, we will produce the highest level weapons and send them to NATO, and countries will also place these weapons.
"IF THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED IN 50 DAYS, WE WILL IMPOSE SECONDARY TARIFFS"
We only have Russia left that we cannot solve, and I am not happy. Ukraine wants to do something about this; this war was a war that should never have started. If I were president, this would not have happened, we would have talked to Putin, we would have spoken often. I was not in office; I was watching from the outside and I said there would be a war, Biden said the opposite and the war started. It was a great chaos, more than 500-600 thousand people lost their lives. If this issue is not resolved in 50 days, we will impose secondary tariffs. Only talking is happening, and missiles are going to Kiev, and this needs to end. Billions of dollars worth of equipment will be given to NATO and will go to the battlefield. Whatever you say about Ukraine, they had no chance. They would have had no chance if we had not sent military equipment. But they have courage and they fought bravely. Their equipment is running low, and Russia is strong and has taken positive steps, but they are hitting cities with many drones and missiles; Russia is doing this to create disaster and is also hitting the infrastructure. This will have an impact on Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine wants peace, and I am sure they will not go back on their words. I believe they will do what needs to be done; there have been many losses on both sides. I think there will be a strong and sustainable agreement.
