Ukraine war briefing: Trump sees conflict as very unfair' for war dead and US taxpayers, says White House
"Donald Trump views the Ukraine war as very unfair on not only those killed but also on US taxpayers, the White House has said. Speaking in Washington after two days of trilateral peace talks in Geneva ended without a breakthrough, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said there had been meaningful progress made with pledges to continue to work towards a peace deal together."
"But she also said Trump viewed the situation nearly four years into the war as very unfair, not just for Russians and Ukrainians who have lost their lives, but also for the American people and the American taxpayer who were footing the bill for this war effort before President Trump put a stop to it. In March last year the Trump administration suspended delivery of all US military aid to Ukraine, blocking billions of dollars' worth of crucial shipments,"
Donald Trump views the Ukraine war as very unfair to Russians and Ukrainians who have died and to American taxpayers who were funding US aid before he halted it. Two days of trilateral peace talks in Geneva ended without a breakthrough but were reported to have meaningful progress with pledges to continue working toward a peace deal. In March the Trump administration suspended delivery of all US military aid to Ukraine, blocking billions of dollars' worth of shipments. A mechanism later supplied Ukraine with weapons from US stocks bought with NATO-country funds. Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed dissatisfaction, calling the result insufficient and noting that sensitive political matters and leader-level compromises remain unresolved. The delegations agreed to meet again without a set date.
