Trump news at a glance: president threatens 100% tariff on Russia and says he is keeping Club World Cup trophy

In a whirlwind of announcements, Trump threatened Russia with a whopping 100% tariff and a 50-day ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine, alongside a bizarre claim that Chelsea's Club World Cup trophy is a knockoff of the one in his Oval Office. He also touted a new NATO-backed arms deal for Ukraine, framing it as a win—while making it clear Moscow faces harsh consequences if fighting continues.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another day in Trumpian headlines. The tariff threat escalates economic pressure on Russia at a volatile moment, but the odd trophy tangent and mixed messaging on NATO commitments could muddy the waters. For Ukraine, the arms deal matters—but the 50-day deadline adds unpredictable pressure to an already fragile situation. Meanwhile, the world’s left wondering: Why the sudden obsession with soccer trophies?
