The U.S. will impose secondary sanctions against anyone who buys Russian oil.

Speaking in the Oval Office during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, US President Donald Trump said that Washington will impose strict sanctions against Russia and its trading partners if a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine is not reached within 50 days.

"We're going to impose very strict duties if there is not an agreement in 50 days. Duties that are about 100 percent, we call them secondary tariffs," Trump said.

Also, he said, the U.S. and NATO have reached an agreement to supply arms to Ukraine.

The costs will fall on European countries, and America will provide the production, Trump said. NATO will coordinate the deliveries.
