Washington could draw conclusions on the progress of Ukrainian settlement talks before US President Donald Trump’s 50-day deadline expires, US Department of State Spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters, APA reports.
She did not give a direct answer when asked whether the US is prepared to draw any conclusions one week after Trump's announcement that he would impose tariffs of about 100% on Russia and its trading partners if Moscow and Washington did not reach a deal on a settlement in Ukraine within 50 days.
"I would caution when the president notes a block of time or a window that it could be any time in that window," the spokeswoman said.
"If there's a genuine negotiation happening and it's in it's in motion, then things can change rapidly," she went on to say. "Two days later, it can be different because of the conversations that have been had."
"So it's never a static for most of us," Bruce stated.
