President Trump indicated he was giving Ukraine until next Thursday to agree to a peace proposal from the U.S. to end the war with Russia.
Trump was asked during an appearance on the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio about reports that the administration was giving Ukraine a deadline to sign off on the proposal or lose U.S. support.
“So is next Thursday the deadline, that you gave a loose deadline for Ukraine?” Kilmeade asked.
“Well, we have, you know, I’ve had a lot of deadlines, but if things are working well, you tend to extend the deadlines,” Trump responded. “But Thursday is, we think, an appropriate time.”
The Washington Post reported that the U.S. had set the Thursday deadline for Ukraine to agree to a version of the 28-point peace plan negotiated by special envoy Steve Witkoff and the Kremlin’s top negotiator. Ukraine’s Parliament and Russia would need to approve the deal.
