President Donald Trump is finally taking the fight to Vladimir Putin. Sort of. For now. Trump’s deference to Russia’s authoritarian leader has been one of the most enduring geopolitical subplots of the past decade.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was disappointed but not done with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a BBC interview published on Tuesday, hours after Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine and threatened Russia with sanctions.

President Trump said that he's disappointed with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but that he's "not done with him" during an interview on BBC News, a CBS News partner. On Monday, Mr. Trump threatened tariffs targeting Russia if a peace deal with Ukraine isn't reached within 50 days.

The ministers met in Brussels following President Trump’s announcement of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies, and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.

European Union officials warned on Monday that countermeasures are still on the table if they cannot reach a trade deal with the United States to avoid the 30 percent tariffs that President Trump announced over the weekend would take effect on Aug.

EU trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič Maroš Šefčovič stated that the introduction of 30% tariffs on European imports would actually destroy transatlantic trade, The Guardian reports. The European Union is warning of the risk of a complete freeze in trade with the United States due to a new initiative by Donald Trump.
