During a meeting at the White House, President Trump signaled an unexpected shift towards resuming diplomacy with Russia regarding the Ukraine conflict. His statements suggested a potential end to the war soon, contingent on smart negotiations. This approach alarmed many, as it hinted at reduced US backing for Ukraine. President Macron echoed the possibility of a truce in the near future. Meanwhile, Putin expressed readiness to involve European nations in talks and indicated economic interests, marking a significant shift in diplomatic dynamics.
Trump's recent embrace of Russia has sparked fears not only that it could spell the end of US support for Kyiv, but for the rest of Europe too.
I think we could end it within weeks - if we're smart. If we're not smart, it will keep going,” Trump said, highlighting the urgency he sees in a resolution.
Macron later agreed that a truce was possible in 'weeks', signaling readiness from both leaders to advance the situation in Ukraine.
Putin has been biding his time since his ice-breaking call with Trump less than two weeks ago, showing his own willingness to engage.
