President Donald Trump's original 50-day deadline he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war he started in Ukraine has expired, with no end in sight to the fighting. On July 14, the U.S. president threatened "secondary tariffs" on Russia if Putin did not agree to a deal to end the war in the 50-day timeframe which has just ended. Since then, Trump revised down the deadline to 10-12 days and there has been a meeting between the U.S. and Russian leaders in Alaska. However, the White House has not announced any economic measures to punish Putin directly linked to not meeting the deadline. Yuriy Boyechko, CEO of Hope for Ukraine, which supports frontline communities caught up in the war, told Newsweek Tuesday that Trump's deadline had "produced no progress toward peace." Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment. |
