    Trump to supply missiles to Ukraine, gives Russia 50-day ultimatum

    President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. will dramatically
    increase weapons supplies to European allies, with those countries
    then sending arms to Ukraine.

    A source familiar with the plan tells Axios the U.S. will sell
    around $10 billion in weapons to NATO allies in the first wave.

    The supplies ultimately bound for Ukraine include missiles, air
    defense weaponry and artillery shells.
    ...
    Trump also said he was giving Russia 50 days to make a deal or
    else face 100% "secondary tariffs," seemingly referring to a plan to
    impose tariffs on countries like China and India that buy Russian oil.
    That would have a major impact on global oil markets.

    A White House official told Axios that Russia must agree to a
    ceasefire within 50 days to avoid steep sanctions and tariffs.
