Trump has made up his mind – Russia has 10 days
Russia has ten days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine to end the war between the countries, Donald Trump says. If Russia does not enter into a ceasefire, Trump has threatened to impose punitive tariffs of 100 percent on Russian goods and impose sanctions.
- 10 days from today, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday.
The announcement came as he returned from his five-day visit to Scotland, where he played golf and met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
- We will impose tariffs and things like that, and I don't know if it will affect Russia, because he obviously wants to continue the war, Trump said.
On Monday, Trump said that ten to twelve days were the limit.
Russia: Ultimatum is a Step Closer to War
On Monday, Trump shortened the deadline from 50 to 10-12 days for Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Otherwise, the United States will impose punitive tariffs and sanctions.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev responded to the statement on X, writing that Trump is playing the "ultimatum game" with Russia and that the United States must remember that Russia is not Israel or Iran.
"Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country," Medvedev wrote.
Trump said on Monday that he was disappointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin's failure to end the war in Ukraine.
Oil prices rise after Trump gives Russia a new deadline
Market prices for crude oil rose significantly after US President Donald Trump this evening set a clearer deadline for Russia to conclude a ceasefire with Ukraine. This is reported by E24.
The spot price of WTI oil is up 3 percent for the day after Trump's speech. Most of the gains came after Trump presented his new ten-day deadline to the press.
The deadline expires at the end of next week and means a clarification of Trump's previous statements of "10-12 days". If Russia does not comply with the deadline and conclude a ceasefire, Trump has threatened to impose punitive tariffs of 100 percent on Russian goods and impose sanctions on countries that trade in Russian oil.
Originally, Russia was to be given 50 days to conclude a ceasefire.
