Trump’s Intentions for Peace Talks
US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday his intention to engage in discussions with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, aiming to bring an end to the ongoing conflict that erupted following Moscow’s invasion. This announcement aligns with Trump’s ongoing skepticism regarding the substantial financial support that President Joe Biden’s administration has extended to Ukraine since the war’s onset in 2022.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has often voiced admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who instigated the invasion. He has boldly claimed that he could resolve the war within a day, although he has yet to provide details on how this would be accomplished. There are concerns that Trump might pressure Ukraine to cede territory under Russian control.
