Trump Pushes for Peace Deal in Russia-Ukraine War
In his first week back in office, Trump signals a shift in U.S. foreign policy, aiming to broker negotiations to end the nearly three-year conflict.
- Donald Trump has proposed leveraging economic sanctions and tariffs to pressure Vladimir Putin into peace talks, warning of severe consequences for Russia's economy.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed cautious optimism about Trump's efforts, emphasizing that any resolution must involve Ukraine's terms for security and sovereignty.
- Despite a 90-day pause on new foreign aid approvals, the U.S. continues providing military assistance to Ukraine, which relies on it for 40% of its defense needs.
- Russia's ongoing military offensives in eastern Ukraine and its expanding alliances with China, Iran, and North Korea complicate prospects for a swift resolution.
- European allies and NATO leaders advocate increased military support for Ukraine, warning that failure to counter Russian aggression could escalate global tensions.
