Trump disputes Israel's claim on starvation in Gaza, sets new deadline for Putin
London: US President Donald Trump has called on Israel to speed up the flow of food to families in Gaza and set a new deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, urgently intensifying his demands on both global flashpoints. Trump aired his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin by revoking his earlier deadline of 50 days to ensure a ceasefire in Ukraine, declaring in Scotland on Monday (Tuesday AEST) that the new deadline would be just 10 or 12 days. With the war in Gaza causing widespread hunger, Trump disputed Israel's claim there was no starvation and said he wanted to make sure food was sent urgently to civilians in the war zone. The comments, made in a wide-ranging press conference with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, conveyed a more assertive message on the two conflicts when Britain and the European Union are hoping for an urgent White House intervention to stop the wars. Speaking to the media alongside Starmer for almost an hour at his Turnberry golf course, Trump also attacked wind power, claimed he won last year's presidential election on migration concerns and denied drawing a birthday greeting for child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Ukraine, his move brings forward the prospect of secondary tariffs on Russia and its allies that would tax their exports at 100 per cent, a severe penalty on China and India if the US president acts on the threat. Trump set a 50-day deadline for Putin earlier this month, giving the Russian leader until September 5 to stop firing missiles and drones at Ukrainian civilians and agree to a peace deal. 'I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today,' Trump said in Scotland.
