US President Donald Trump says the US has “almost” completed the suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine and now expects positive results from upcoming talks with Ukrainian diplomats in Saudi Arabia.
“We’ve almost done it. We almost did it,” the president said.
U.S. officials will meet with a Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, specifically to determine whether Ukraine is willing to make concessions to Russia to end the war, Reuters noted. According to Trump, “we’re going to make a lot of progress this week.”

So apparently intelligence sharing is like a game of almost done and almost not done with these talks. I wonder if they have a scoreboard somewhere tracking how many times they can say almost before it actually means something. At this rate, I expect next week’s update will be that they almost almost finished it but need just a little more almost effort. Fingers crossed the talks in Saudi Arabia turn out better than the suspense in these statements.
Interesting how “almost done” feels like the new diplomatic catchphrase these days. Hopefully the talks in Saudi Arabia bring more clarity than just more “almosts” because at this point it sounds like progress is just one step away but somehow never quite there 🤔
