Trump Moves Up Russia Peace Deal Deadline Amid Ukraine Conflict

President Trump has moved up the deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine to 10 to 12 days, warning that failure to comply would result in severe sanctions, including the potential imposition of secondary tariffs on countries trading with Russia. This decision was announced during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, reflecting Trump's frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for continuing the war despite previous efforts and deadlines. Trump expressed disappointment over Putin's actions, particularly attacks on Ukrainian cities, and indicated that the original 50-day deadline set earlier has been shortened due to lack of progress. While Trump has previously promised to end the conflict quickly and has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, his administration has yet to implement new sanctions, making this threat a significant shift in policy. The imposition of secondary tariffs could also impact major trading partners of Russia, such as China and India. Overall, Trump's renewed deadline underscores his intent to pressure Russia into ending the conflict while highlighting the complexities of U.S. diplomatic and economic strategies in the region.
