Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has set a new 10- or 12-day deadline for Russia to end its conflict in Ukraine, underscoring his anger over Vladimir Putin’s continued provocation.
Trump said he was disappointed in Putin and cut short a 50-day deadline he had set this month while meeting with European leaders in Scotland and playing golf.
During a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said, “I’m going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today.” There is no justification for waiting. We simply don’t notice any progress being made.
The Kremlin did not respond right away.
Despite US efforts to end the war, the US president has threatened sanctions on both Russia and its exporters unless progress is made. He has also expressed his disapproval of Putin’s continued attacks on Ukraine.
Trump, who views himself as a peacemaker, had promised to put an end to the three-and-a-half-year-old conflict before running for president again in January.
There is “no reason to wait,” the statement read. Why wait if you already know the outcome? And there might be secondary tariffs, tariffs, or sanctions, according to Trump. I’m not interested in doing that to Russia. I adore Russians.
The US president, who has also expressed resentment toward Volodymyr Zelenskyy, hasn’t always responded to his cries for action by citing what he believes to be a positive relationship between the two men.
