US President Donald Trump and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at talks in Scotland on July 27, discussed, among other things, the issue of shortening the introduction of 100 percent US duties against Russia's trading partners. This was announced by the representative of the European Commission Stefan De Keersmaeker at a briefing in Brussels.
"Yes, this issue was raised during the consultations," he answered the question of whether Trump and von der Leyen talked at the talks about reducing the duties promised by Washington for the EU about speeding up the introduction of tariffs against Russia's trading partners.
As reported by EADaily, on July 28, at a press conference following a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry (Scotland), Trump said he was "very disappointed" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, according to him, threw his army into a new offensive and continues to hit Ukraine instead of a cease-fire. The American leader noted that he was shortening the period of the 50-day ultimatum announced on July 14, now, the head of the White House claimed, Putin has a maximum of 12 days to make peace.
Today, on July 29, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin had "taken note" of Trump's new ultimatum and was committed to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but Russia would continue to SMO to protect its interests.
