President Donald Trump reiterated on Monday that he is “disappointed” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that he will “reduce” the 50-day deadline he gave to Putin two weeks ago to reach a peace deal with Ukraine.

Speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland on Monday, Trump said that every time there appears to be some progress with Putin on ending the war, Russia launches another attack on Ukraine.

“We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over the street,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘That’s not the way to do it.'”

Trump elaborated on the new timeline later on Monday.

“I’m going to make the new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There’s no reason in waiting,” he said. “We just don’t see any progress being made.”

During a meeting in the Oval Office with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on July 14, Trump said that he would hit Russia with 100% tariffs if Putin didn’t reach a peace deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky within the initial 50-day deadline.

The 100% tariffs on Russia would come in the form of “secondary tariffs,” which would penalize countries that do business with Putin, such as those purchasing Russian oil and gas. Reuters reported last week that sources close to the Kremlin said Putin was unfazed by Trump’s deadline.

In recent weeks, Russia has ramped up its attacks on Ukraine, targeting Kyiv with massive drone and missile strikes. Multiple civilians have been killed and dozens more wounded in Russia’s latest attacks, which were carried out as Moscow and Kyiv continue to meet for peace talks.

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Istanbul last week for another round of peace talks, but the discussions yielded no significant progress. In the multiple rounds of negotiations between the warring countries, they have only agreed to exchange prisoners. The Kremlin wants Ukraine to give up the land Russian forces have taken after invading Ukraine more than three years ago, a request that Zelensky has shut down. Putin, meanwhile, has denied Zelensky’s requests for an in-person meeting, arguing that Zelensky is an illegitimate leader after the country declared martial law and did not hold a presidential election last year.

The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a ceasefire effective at midnight on Monday after President Donald Trump threatened not to enter into a trade deal with either country until the fighting ended. Dozens of people were killed and hundreds of thousands of civilians were forced to flee when fighting erupted last week near the border.

Thailand’s acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, and Cambodia’s prime minister, Hun Manet, shook hands just hours after President Donald Trump spoke to both leaders on Saturday and pushed them to stop the fighting. The peace talks between the two countries took place in Putrajaya, Malaysia, and were organized by Malaysian and American officials, The New York Times reported.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that Thailand and Cambodia agreed to “an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with effect from midnight tonight,” according to Reuters.

“This is final,” Ibrahim added.

Trump commented on the ceasefire agreement while speaking to reporters in Scotland on Monday, saying, “That was going to be a very bad war, and so we’re honored we got involved. It’s essentially settled.”

“That could’ve gone on for years. Millions of people could’ve been killed. We ended the war — and we’re very happy about it,” Trump added.

The fighting erupted last Thursday near a temple that both Thailand and Cambodia claim. The two Southeast Asian countries traded attacks, including airstrikes and rocket fire along the 508-mile-long border separating them. The recent fighting marks the deadliest conflict between Thailand and Cambodia in nearly 15 years, as 36 people have been killed. Between 2008 and 2011, the countries engaged in fighting over contested border land that resulted in 34 deaths.

The fighting drew the attention of the United States and China, as both countries have interests in the region. Thailand is a military and trading partner with the United States, while China is the largest trading partner of both Thailand and Cambodia. China also funds a large navy base in Cambodia. Chinese diplomats attended the peace talks in Putrajaya as Beijing pressured both countries to agree to a ceasefire.

“Today we have a very good meeting and very good results… that hope to stop immediately the fighting that has caused many lives lost, injuries, and also caused displacement of people,” said Cambodian Prime Minister Manet.

Acting Thai Prime Minister Wechayachai, who had previously expressed doubts about Cambodia sticking to the terms of a ceasefire, said that the deal would “be carried out successfully in good faith by both sides.”

On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he had spoken with leaders in both Thailand and Cambodia, adding that he and President Trump were “monitoring the situation very closely.”

“We want this conflict to end as soon as possible,” Rubio stated.

In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump said that he would not make a trade deal with either country if the fighting continued. The Trump administration is currently in talks with both Thailand and Cambodia as the president prepares to roll out his worldwide tariffs on August 1.

Thailand has been a major U.S. trading partner, exporting $63.3 billion worth of goods to the United States in 2024. Thailand’s exports to the United States include vital items such as electronic equipment and nuclear reactors, according to Trading Economics.
