On July 28, US President Donald Trump stated that he was "very disappointed" with the Kremlin head Vladimir Putin and that he could shorten the 50-day term for Russia regarding a ceasefire agreement in Russia's war against Ukraine, which he introduced earlier this month.
He stated that he was going to set a new deadline for Russia regarding a ceasefire agreement in Russia's war against Ukraine of approximately 10 or 12 days, starting today.
Earlier this month, Trump threatened to impose "tough tariffs" on Russian imports of "about 100%" if no agreement to end the war in Ukraine was reached within 50 days.
