On Monday, President Trump told reporters that he’s giving the Kremlin 10 to 12 days to end its illegal invasion or face new sanctions.
Kudos to President Trump for realizing that his 50-day deadline for Vladimir Putin to reach a peace deal with Ukraine was far too generous — and wholly unnecessary.
On Monday, the prez told reporters he’s giving the Kremlin just 10 to 12 more days to agree to a cease-fire — or face real consequences.
“There’s no reason to wait” the full 50 days before pummeling Russia with sanctions, potentially including a whopping 100% tariff on countries that import Russian goods, Trump declared.
He’s right. As we’ve pointed out, his original deadline of Sept. 2 just gave Russia more time to stack up more dead bodies.
Putin’s goal was never peace; it is and has always been the total obliteration of Ukraine.
