Former President Donald Trump suggested on Thursday that the United States might withhold its support for ending the war in Ukraine if Russia and Ukraine refuse to agree upon a negotiated settlement. Addressing a gathering of supporters in Florida, Trump stated: “We may pass on helping end this war. If you look at what’s happening right now, it’s going badly, and there are a lot of things they don’t want done.” This statement comes as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine enters its second year, with both sides seeking a resolution to the conflict that would allow for a ceasefire and potentially peace negotiations. However, reaching an agreement is proving difficult due to differing demands from both parties. While Trump has previously criticized the Biden administration’s approach to the war, his latest comments raise questions about the future of U.S. involvement in international diplomacy and its commitment to Ukraine’s security.
