US President says, US could stop peace talk between Russia & Ukraine if either side makes talks too difficult

 

US President Donald Trump said the United States could stop trying to help negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine if either side makes talks too difficult. Speaking in the Oval office yesterday, Trump said he wanted the war to end quickly but wasn’t setting a deadline. He said, If one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we’ll just take a pass.

 

His comments came after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also warned that talks wouldn’t continue for long if progress isn’t made soon. He said United States is not going to keep at this for weeks and months.

 

Trump has previously claimed he could end the war within 24 hours of taking office. But despite early hopes, no ceasefire has been reached. The US has blamed both Russia and Ukraine for the lack of progress.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia continues to launch missile attacks on Ukraine, with two people killed yesterday.

 

 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said talks are difficult, but Russia is open to dialogue and wants to secure its interests through a peace deal.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism during a visit to Italy, saying there were recent developments that could help end the war.

 

 

Separately, Ukraine and the US signed a memorandum of intent for a new economic partnership, which could include investments in minerals, energy, and infrastructure. The aim is to finalize the deal by April 26.
