Trump signaled to European leaders that the U.S. will leave Ukraine and Russia to hold direct talks – Financial Times
May 20, 2025There is a fundamental distrust between Russia and the West, and that is something U.S. President Donald Trump considers blatantly foolish.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters.
The Vice President also noted that the United States “must be able to overcome the mistakes that were made in the past,” but emphasized that “it takes two to tango.”
Earlier, Vance said that peace talks to end the war in Ukraine have stalled, and that the U.S. must recognize that this is not its war. He did not rule out the possibility that the United States might withdraw from the negotiations, but added that Trump wants to offer Putin the restoration of Russia’s economic relations with the rest of the world in exchange for ending the war.
