Trump Gives Russia 10-Day Deadline To End Ukraine

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND—Shortening the 50-day deadline he had previously given Vladimir Putin to put a stop to the war-torn country, President Donald Trump told reporters Monday he was now giving the Russian leader just “10 or 12 days” to end Ukraine once and for all. “I’m disappointed in President Putin, who has failed to halt this horrible country, letting it drag on and on,” said Trump, announcing that he would impose steep secondary tariffs on Russia should the civilian population of Ukraine still exist in any capacity in two weeks. “We cannot let this conflict continue any longer, so I’m giving Russia a hard but, frankly, generous deadline to discontinue all human life in Ukraine and leave behind a peaceful, completely uninhabited salt flat. This is the last time I’m going to say it: Putin, finish the job.” Trump also urged Putin to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in person and shoot him in the back of the head.
