Trump sets new deadline of '10 or 12 days' for Russia

TURNBERRY, Scotland — US President Donald Trump on Monday set a new deadline of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress toward ending the conflict in Ukraine or face consequences, as he met UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland.

Trump has threatened sanctions on both Russia and buyers of its exports unless progress is made. The fresh deadline suggests the US president is prepared to move forward on those threats after previous hesitation to do so.

Speaking in Scotland, where he was holding meetings with European leaders and playing golf, Trump said he was disappointed in Russian President Vladimir Putin and shortening a 50-day deadline he had set on the issue earlier this month.
