President Trump sets new deadline of '10 to 12 days' for Russia to end war in Ukraine
The president's threat came as he continued to express frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for refusing to scale back his country's war in Ukraine.
"I'm going to make a new deadline of about ten or twelve days from today," Trump said on July 28 during a meeting in Scotland with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "There's no reason in waiting."

Trump said he will likely announce the new deadline by July 29.
"I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made," he said. "It would be sanctions and maybe tariffs ‒ secondary tariffs."
Trump on July 14 announced the United States would put secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if a peace deal is not reached within 50 days, which falls on Sept. 2. Trump's new, shortened deadline would be sometime between Aug. 7 and 11.
"He's got to make a deal," Trump said of Putin. "Too many people are dying it. It's a really bloody war."

When Trump's second term began, the president placed equal blame on Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the war still raging three and a half years later.
But Trump has zeroed in on Putin in recent weeks as the Russian leader repeatedly rebuffs the American president's attempts to broker a ceasefire and pushes forward with drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.
Losing patience with Putin, Trump has accused his Russian counterpart of being open to a ceasefire during private conversations, only to carry out attacks on Ukraine afterward.
"You would think, based on common sense, you would think he would want to make a deal. We'll find out," Trump said.

Trump says he could impose more tariffs on China, similar to India duties, over Russian oil
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he could announce further tariffs on China similar to the 25% duties announced earlier on India over its purchases of Russian oil, depending on what happens. "Could happen," Trump told reporters, after saying he expected to announce more secondary sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine. He gave no further details. "It may happen ... I can't tell you yet," Trump said. "We did it with India. We're doing it probably with a couple of others. One of them could be China." Trump on Wednesday imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, on top of a 25% tariff announced previously, citing its continued purchases of Russian oil. The White House order did not mention China, which is another big purchaser of Russian oil. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned China that it could also face new tariffs if it continued buying Russian oil.

Trump Says He'll Likely Name Temporary Fed Governor to Open Seat
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump indicated he would likely nominate a temporary Federal Reserve governor to fill the soon-to-be vacant seat on the central bank's board within the coming days, rather than use the seat to signal his choice to replace Jerome Powell as chairman. All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Major Istanbul Projects Are Stalling as City Leaders Sit in Jail PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station 'We're probably going to go with the temp and then a permanent,' Trump told reporters Wednesday at the White House. 'I think the temp is going to be named, I'd say, over the next two, three days, and then we're going to go permanent.' Fed Governor Adriana Kugler announced last week that she plans to vacate her role on Aug. 8. Advisers had encouraged him to take that approach because it would give him additional time to interview candidates to serve as chair. Trump said he was considering 'probably' three candidates for the position and that they could come from Wall Street. 'Yeah, essentially, we're all from Wall Street, aren't we, when you get right down to it?' Trump said. He added that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Vice President JD Vance were among the advisers participating in the process. Separately, Trump reiterated that he considered former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as top candidates for the Fed Chair role when it becomes open.
