Trump announces the sale of weapons to NATO allies while warning Putin of 100% prices without peace agreement

President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that the United States had agreed to sell weapons to NATO for a few moments after declaring that Russian President Vladimir Putin has 50 days to conclude a peace agreement with Ukraine or to face “100%” prices.

NATO secretary general, Mark Rutte, said Trump called him on Thursday to confirm that he wanted to conclude an agreement with NATO allies to sell them weapons for helping Ukraine.

Trump said billions of dollars in American weapons would be bought from Allies like Germany, Finland and Denmark who will be “quickly distributed” to Ukraine.
