US President Donald Trump has announced a new deadline for Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

"I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump said during his meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland.

"There's no reason for waiting... we just don't see any progress being made," he added.

Prior to this, Trump expressed his disappointment with Putin and promised to shorten the previously set 50-day deadline for achieving peace in Ukraine.

Earlier this month, Trump threatened to impose "severe tariffs" at "about 100%" on Russian goods if an agreement to end the war in Ukraine is not reached within 50 days.
