OpenLife Nigeria reports that President Donald Trump has set a new deadline on Monday of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress toward ending the war in Ukraine or face consequences.
The deadline underscores the frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the 3-1/2-year-old conflict.
Trump has threatened both sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports unless progress is made. The fresh deadline suggests the U.S. president is prepared to move forward on those threats after previous hesitation to do so.
Speaking in Scotland, where he is holding meetings with European leaders and playing golf, Trump said he was disappointed in Putin and shortening a 50-day deadline he had set on the issue earlier this month.
“I’m going to make a new deadline of about … 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “There’s no reason in waiting… We just don’t see any progress being made.”
There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin.
