Donald Trump sets new deadline of '10 or 12 days' for Russia to agree to Ukraine deal | BBC News

Description

Donald Trump has presented a new, shorter deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire over the war in Ukraine of "10 or 12 days" from Monday. The US president said there was "no reason" in waiting any longer as no progress towards peace had been made. Trump made the comments during a meeting at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. At a press conference, he said he would confirm the new deadline on Monday or Tuesday, but reiterated the threat to impose sanctions and secondary tariffs on Moscow. Also at the conference, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump agreed that aid needs to get into Gaza and they need a ceasefire. Trump described the scenes of children in Gaza as “real starvation”, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted there was no such thing.
