Before insisting on this decision, Trump had already set a 50-day deadline to end the war, but he then substantially shortened it. The consequence of failing to accomplish this results in a strict and high raise in tariffs.

“I’m going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There’s no reason in waiting,” Mr. Trump told reporters in Scotland during a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain. “We just don’t see any progress being made.”

threatening trading partners, notably China and India, that import Russian oil and gas,” says Trump.

Once President Trump returned to the White House, he immediately promised to bring back Ukraine. However, at first, Trump seemed to be aligned with Putin, criticizing Zelensky’s decision to suspend U.S. supplies and weapons.

“Trump seemed to reverse course, promising to renew the supply of weapons to Ukraine and toughened his language toward Mr. Putin.”The Ukraine officials quickly thanked Trump for shortening the time limit.

Russian officials “view it as out of the question to halt the fighting without extensive concessions by Ukraine”, but the new deadline frustrated them. Last week, Sergey V. Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, praised the Trump administration for its “reasonable approach” to Ukraine and its “readiness for dialogue.”

Mr. Trump expressed disappointment on Monday, blaming Russia has spent all of their money in wars and killing people, and insisted that Mr.Putin might want to end the war as well.
