The relationship between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken a sharp turn for the worse. The ongoing war in Ukraine has changed everything between the two leaders who appeared to get along well during Trump’s first time in office.
According to Fox News, Trump has now set a deadline that ends Friday for Russia to show it wants peace talks. He first gave Russia 50 days to agree to a peace deal, but then cut that time down to just 10-12 days. The shortened timeline has made tensions between the two countries much worse. This pattern of shifting deadlines has become a familiar strategy, as Trump continues to give Putin additional chances before his self-imposed ultimatums.
