U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Russia to halt its war in Ukraine within 10 days, or face sweeping penalties including tariffs and sanctions.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said his administration will introduce new economic measures if Moscow failed to comply by 8 August.
“We're going to put on tariffs and stuff,” Trump said, adding, “It may or may not affect them, but we're going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on.”
The statement followed his earlier threat on Monday, where he mentioned imposing secondary tariffs, measures targeting countries that continue to trade with Russia, as part of broader efforts to pressure Moscow. At the time, he had suggested a 10 to 12-day window for Russia to act, a sharp acceleration from the 50-day deadline he had previously indicated.
His comments reflect growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I'm very disappointed,” Trump said, citing recent attacks on Ukrainian cities.
“He goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever.”
“We're going to have to look. I'm going to reduce the 50 days that I gave him [for a ceasefire with Ukraine] to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer,” he said.
The Kremlin has not officially responded to Trump’s revised ultimatum. The Russian government maintains that its military operations in Ukraine are a matter of national security and sovereignty, rejecting U.S. and Western calls to withdraw.
