President Donald Trump will give Russia until Aug. 8 to agree to a cease-fire deal with Ukraine or face new sanctions.

Trump told reporters on Air Force One on July 29 that he would grant Russian President Vladimir Putin “10 days” to come to the negotiating table in good faith or else face a new tranche of U.S. sanctions and secondary tariffs.
