Donald Trump gives Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to ‘end the killing’
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump gave Russia 50 days to make substantive progress towards a peace deal with Ukraine. Trump threatened secondary sanctions if these 50 days came and went with no significant peace progress or deal. These tariffs would impact countries trading with Russia in specific trade areas. Russia is using trade with China, India, and with other countries to obtain money to help withstand sanctions. However, should these countries decide not to trade with Russia in areas Russia needs to sell, the current sanctions would bite harder.
From the Associated Press:
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to stop the killing in Ukraine, shortening a 50-day deadline he had given the Russian leader two weeks ago.
Russia fired an overnight barrage of more than 300 drones, four cruise missiles and three ballistic missiles, the Ukrainian air force said, as the Russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities continued despite Trump’s pressure for it to end. U.S.-led peace efforts have also failed to gain momentum.
Trump had said on July 14 that he would implement “severe tariffs” on Russia unless a peace deal is reached by early September. On Monday, Trump said he would now give Putin 10 to 12 days, meaning he wants peace efforts to make progress by Aug. 7-9.
The plan includes possible sanctions and secondary tariffs targeting Russia’s trading partners. The formal announcement would come later Monday or on Tuesday, Trump said.
“No reason in waiting,” Trump said of the shorter timeline. “We just don’t see any progress being made.”
Putin has “got to make a deal. Too many people are dying,” Trump said during a visit to Scotland.
There was no immediate response from Russia.
Trump repeated his criticism of Putin for talking about ending the war but continuing to bombard Ukrainian civilians.

Doat!
So we don’t have an earthquake machine? Fine. We’ll just control their weather, then.
So sue me.
We tried, but missed apparently.

But, but, but… The libs keep telling me “Trumputin” is in the Russians’ back pocket; why would he do this to his master? I’m so confused.
Must tune in to Colbert to find out what to think. (Note: this is parody.)
We could also wait to hear Seth Meyer’s take on it. All the late night talk show hosts are soon smart. (Insert snark emoji here)
I believe that I read an hour or so ago that POTUS has raised the tariff against India to 17% today.
The days of squeezing the US is slowly coming to an end.
