President Trump said repeatedly he was very unhappy and disappointed with Russia and Vladimir Putin, writes BBC.
Sitting beside Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, he said he had a made a deal where the US would send weapons to Ukraine but NATO would pay for them, adding that Washington wasn`t going to make any payment.
Trump also vowed to impose what he called 100% secondary tariffs on Russia, thought to mean US tariffs on countries who continue to trade with Moscow, if Russia doesn’t strike a peace deal with Ukraine in 50 days.
Asked to clarify what kinds of weapons were involved in the deal, Trump said "everything" including Patriot missiles and batteries - which Ukraine desperately needs to find off long range missile strikes from Russia.
The plan is thought to involve Germany and other European countries sending some of their existing Patriot missile stocks to Ukraine, before being replenished with new ones from the US.
