U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 28 that he aims to shorten the 50-day deadline he had set for a peace deal in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing disappointment with the Kremlin leader.
The U.S. president was referring to his July 14 warning that Washington would impose up to 100% in secondary tariffs on Russia unless Moscow agreed to a peace deal in Ukraine within the next 50 days.
"We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever," Trump said alongside U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the Turnberry golf club in Scotland.
"So we’re going to have to look, and I’m going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer — what’s going to happen."
