President Donald Trump expresses disappointment in Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia launches drones and missiles across Ukraine, announcing plans to reduce his original 50-day deadline.
President Donald Trump on Monday said he was „very disappointed“ in Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he will „reduce“ the original 50-day deadline he set earlier this month to 10–12 days from today.
„I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today“, Trump told reporters from Scotland. „There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made.“
Trump originally set a 50-day deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal on July 14 while meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Washington, D.C. However, by moving up the deadline to 12-days from Monday, he cut the overall end date in half.
„I’m not so interested in talking anymore“, Trump told reporters while sitting next to British Prime Minister Kier Starmer after he said Moscow and Washington „might make a deal“ ahead of the secondary sanctions set to be implemented now in less than two weeks.
„He talks – we have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversation.
