Kuwait city: U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday set a fresh deadline of 10 or 12 days for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face strict economic sanctions. "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 in Scotland.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Trump warned that sanctions and tariffs would be imposed on Moscow if it failed to meet his demands. The U.S. president expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating, "I'm disappointed in President Putin." He further mentioned, "I'm going to reduce the 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen."
Talks between Trump and Starmer focused on the latest developments in Ukraine and Gaza, mainly including the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territory and how to boost relief aid to Gaza.
