SUMMARY: President Trump is urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, setting a tentative 10 to 12-day deadline for progress, though Putin remains unyielding. The U.S. may increase sanctions or economic pressure if no resolution occurs. President Trump is also pressing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, amid conflicting reports about starvation conditions. Meanwhile, the administration is finalizing a trade deal with China, with recent talks in Stockholm involving U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Despite uncertainty, Trump suggests negotiations are nearing completion, highlighting the critical importance of U.S.-China trade relations.

President Donald Trump said he’s giving Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 more days to reach a deal to end the Ukraine war. Otherwise, the president said Russia could face new sanctions and secondary tariffs targeting its trading partners. FOX News Correspondent Doug Luzader has all the latest political headlines.
