Trump Cuts Deadline for Russia Ceasefire to 10–12 Days

The White House has warned of sweeping secondary tariffs on countries trading with Moscow.

Overview

  • President Trump announced in Scotland that he is reducing the 50-day window he set on July 14 to about 10–12 days, citing frustration with Moscow’s failure to halt the war.
  • He threatened 100% secondary tariffs on any nation that continues business with Russia if President Putin does not secure a ceasefire.
  • Russian forces have pressed their summer offensive with ongoing missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, undeterred by U.S. ultimatums.
  • Last week’s talks in Istanbul yielded only prisoner exchanges and no commitment to a full truce, leaving negotiations stalled.
  • Ukrainian officials praised Trump’s tougher stance while the Kremlin dismissed the threats as unacceptable.
