Trump mulls earlier tariff deadline to force Putin into Ukraine ceasefire

TURNBERRY, Scotland — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he was thinking about cutting short a 50-day window he offered Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to his war in Ukraine before he imposes up to 100 percent tariffs on Russia and its trading partners.

“I’m disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed at him, so we’re gonna have to look, and I’m gonna reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer,” Trump said, speaking to reporters at Turnberry in Scotland.

Trump issued the ultimatum to Putin earlier in July, warning that his potential economic penalties against Moscow and its trading partners would be devastating if the conflict wasn’t halted by early September.

“We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever,” Trump added on Monday.
