Trump Says US Will ‘Pass’ on Ukraine Peace Talks If No Progress Soon
Former President Donald Trump has warned that the United States might withdraw its involvement in Ukraine peace talks if tangible progress isn’t made soon. Speaking at a campaign event, Trump criticized the prolonged nature of the conflict, emphasizing the need for swift diplomacy. “If there’s no real movement toward peace, the United States will pass,” he stated, suggesting that continued support without results is unsustainable.
Trump, who has frequently argued that the war could have been avoided under his leadership, reiterated his belief that strong negotiation tactics are essential. He called on both Ukraine and Russia to come to the table with realistic expectations and willingness to compromise. His remarks come amid growing domestic fatigue over foreign aid spending and rising pressure on U.S. policymakers to prioritize domestic issues.
Critics argue that stepping back could weaken the West’s stance against Russian aggression, while Trump supporters believe a tougher U.S. position may actually accelerate diplomatic resolutions. As the conflict drags on, Trump’s comments highlight a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy—one that could reshape Washington’s role in international conflicts moving forward, should he return to office in 2025.
