Trump says he’s setting new deadline of 10 to 12 days for Russia to make deal to end Ukraine war

Jeff Mordock, Washington Times

President Trump said he’s giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to end the

war in Ukraine or face massive “secondary tariffs” on Moscow’s trade partners. Earlier this month, Mr. Trump had given Mr. Putin a 50-day deadline, set to expire in early September, to strike a peace deal with Ukraine. The president’s new, shortened deadline reflects his frustration with Mr. Putin. Speaking during a meeting in Scotland, Mr. Trump said the new deadline is necessary because the U.S. does not see “any progress being made.”
