Trump and UK Prime Minister Starmer Talk to Press in Scotland about Gaza, Russia, Immigration
US President Donald Trump said he would reduce the 50-day deadline he gave Russian leader Vladimir Putin to reach a truce with Ukraine.
“I’m disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed in him. So we’re going to have to look and I’m going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number,” Trump told reporters in Scotland on Monday as he welcomed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a meeting.
“I think I already know the answer, what’s going to happen,” Trump said, indicating further skepticism that Putin would come to the negotiating table and commit to a ceasefire.
Trump earlier this month issued the 50-day deadline and threatened to impose stiff economic penalties on Russia if it does not end hostilities with Ukraine. Trump has said he would impose 100% tariffs, which officials have cast as secondary levies that would fall on countries who buy Russian exports such as oil. Washington and other capitals allied with Kyiv view such oil purchases as a form of tacit support for Russia, helping to bolster its economy and undercut sanctions.
Trump’s threat marked a major shift in tone for the US president, who returned to office vowing to quickly end Russia’s war in Ukraine, citing his relationship with Putin. Those efforts have failed to materialize with Moscow only responding with maximalist demands for Ukrainian territory and declining calls for face-to-face talks between Putin and his counterpart, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Good to see starmer, The Sir, squirm under the truth that Trump speaks.
What a treacherous buffoon this UK leader is
"We've had free speech for a very long time.." another barefaced lie. People are getting imprisoned for tweets that dont align wth the great cultural annihilation.
This is gone far beyond a joke 😢

Trump talks like he has changed the world, all he did was play golf and sending embarrassing letters to foreign leaders about his tariff deals, which are ultimatums, and run his mouth the rest of the time when he is not eating a pig.

A distinct difference with the liberal media in Europe – especially the UK, Scottland and Ireland – They don't like Trump very much, but readily admit – how impressed they are. Honesty – they call it.

Stammer looked very uncomfortable with Trump saying "They're not sending their best".

So now's the time for Trump to sit down with Russia and also China. And stay there until the deal is done. Even if it takes days or weeks. Put Trump in a room with Putin/and others of course. And lock the door and not let them out until they settle this! And then do the same with China. North Korea might be a different situation.
