President Trump has shifted his stance from promising to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war quickly to distancing the U.S. from peace negotiations. After expressing a desire for closer ties with Putin, recent calls with both Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated a withdrawal from actively brokering a cease-fire. This change in strategy signals that the U.S. will step back, allowing Russia to continue its aggression without facing immediate consequences, and placing Europe in a difficult self-reliance position regarding the conflict.
The president promised peace on day one. Now he's enabling Putin's advances.
Trump still wants to establish closer ties with Putin, and the White House will likely revisit the possibility of a meeting before long.
