US President Donald Trump said he would reduce the 50-day deadline he gave Russian leader Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, saying he was disappointed with his counterpart over the ongoing war.
"I'm disappointed with President Putin, very disappointed with him. So, we'll have to see, and I'll reduce the 50 days I gave him to a shorter time," Trump told reporters in Scotland on Monday as he welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a meeting.
Trump earlier this month issued a 50-day deadline and threatened severe economic sanctions against Russia if it did not end hostilities with Ukraine. However, since that threat, Russia has continued to launch missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. (alg)
