On the tariffs front, Trump said that the US would impose 100% secondary tariffs targeting Russia's remaining trade partners if a peace deal with Ukraine was not reached within 50 days.
這些國家包括德國、英國、波蘭、荷蘭、五個北歐國家(挪威、丹麥、瑞典、芬蘭和冰島)和三個波羅的海國家(愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞和立陶宛)。
Citing anonymous sources, the outlet said Trump also asked if Ukraine could do so if the US provided the country long-range weapons.
But this week, the Republican president said the US was "not looking to do that".
In his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump was "merely asking a question, not encouraging further killing", the White House told the BBC in a statement.
U.S. President Donald Trump asked President Volodymyr Zelensky whether Ukraine could strike Moscow if provided with long-range U.S. weapons, the Financial Times (FT) reported on July 15, citing two undisclosed sources familiar with the discussion.
The Washington Post also reported that, according to its source, Trump asked the Ukrainian leader why he had not struck the Russian capital. Zelensky allegedly replied that such an attack would be possible if the U.S. supplied the necessary weapons.
"Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? . . . Can you hit St Petersburg too?" Trump said, according to the Financial Times, reportedly encouraging the strategy so that Russia can "feel the pain" and agree to negotiations.
Commenting on the FT's report, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a statement to Newsweek, accused the newspaper of "taking words wildly out of context."
"President Trump was merely asking a question, not encouraging further killing. He's working tirelessly to stop the killing and end this war," she said.
