(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump said he would cut the timeline for Russian leader Vladimir Putin to reach a truce with Ukraine or face potential economic penalties, ramping up pressure on Moscow to bring the fighting to a halt.

“I’m going to make a new deadline of about 10 — 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump told reporters in Scotland on Monday during talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

“I’ll announce it probably tonight or tomorrow,” Trump added. “But there’s no reason to wait. If you know what the answer is,” expressing frustration with Putin for rebuffing previous calls for a ceasefire.

Trump on July 14 initially announced a 50-day deadline on Russia — which would have fallen on Sept. 2 — threatening to impose stiff economic penalties on Putin if he did not end hostilities with Ukraine. That threat failed to bring an end to the fighting as Putin has stepped up missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities.
