According to the new president, he wants to hold a meeting on resolving the Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, and the process of preparing the talks has already been launched, CNN reported.
During the campaign, Trump said he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office. Now he has noted that he still has half a day to accomplish that goal.
Now Trump has said he still has half a day – which is how he responded to a question about his earlier promise to end the conflict within 24 hours. This happened at about 4 a.m. Moscow time, RBC notes.
“I have to talk to President Putin, we are going to find out <…> Zelensky wants to make a deal. I don’t know if Putin wants that. He probably doesn’t want to. He has to make a deal,” Trump added.
Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said the day before that he could not give a specific timeline for ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, he noted that both sides will have to give up something, as it is a natural part of resolving any conflict.
