Trump: If necessary, I will use the new powers of tariffs against Russia

Continuing his speech at the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump said that the US still wants to end the war between Russia and Ukraine and added that last week he signed a law giving him broad new powers to impose tariffs. Trump said: "If necessary, I will have to use them. It's time for the killing to stop."

He also praised his wife, Melania Trump, for what he called efforts to return displaced Ukrainian and Russian children to their families.
