President Donald Trump said he plans to make a “major statement” on Russia, as the US prepares to send more American weapons to Ukraine via purchases from NATO allies.
“I think I’ll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday,” Trump told NBC News in a telephone interview. Trump, in the interview, reiterated criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s continued attacks on Ukraine. He also said he expects the Senate to pass a tougher Russia sanctions bill sponsored by a close ally, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. In trade news, Vietnam’s leadership was caught off guard by US President Donald Trump’s announcement last week that it agreed to a 20% tariff, and the Southeast Asian nation is still seeking to lower the rate, according to people familiar with the matter.
Straight after last Wednesday’s call with Trump, Vietnam’s party chief To Lam told his negotiating team to keep working to bring the tariff rate down, the people said, asking not to be identified as the talks are confidential. The 20% figure came as a surprise as Vietnam believed it had secured a more favorable tariff range, the people said. Before the call, Vietnam had been pushing for a tariff in the 10%-15% range.
