Trump Sets Ultimatum for Peace in Ukraine: Faster Weapon Deliveries or More Sanctions
Former President Trump vows to expedite arms supply to Ukraine while warning Russia of new sanctions if peace isn't reached soon.
On July 14, 2025, President Trump expressed his disappointment in Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming he expected a peace deal to have been reached by now. During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump emphasized his commitment to ensuring arms are "quickly distributed to the battlefield." He also warned that failing to secure a peace agreement within 50 days would lead to a fresh round of tough sanctions against Russia.
“I’m disappointed in President Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago,” Trump stated, adding, “It’s just the way it is...I hope we don’t have to do it.” Despite this, Trump has refrained from directly accusing Putin of deliberately dragging out the conflict. The former president noted that while his discussions with Putin have been amicable, the violence continues.
Trump remarked, “My conversations with him are very pleasant, and then the missiles go off at night,” reflecting on Putin's history of backing out of agreements intended to end hostilities. He also took the opportunity to downplay any perception that he might be easily manipulated by the Russian leader, stating, “He’s fooled a lot of people...he didn’t fool me.”
As pressure mounts, the international community watches closely for the next steps in this high-stakes geopolitical situation.
