Trump is 1 step closer to doing what no Democrat could.
President Donald Trump recently shared details about a significant conversation he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Trump, the two leaders had a “lengthy” discussion on Wednesday, during which Putin expressed his willingness to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Trump shared the news on Truth Social, revealing that both sides agreed to work closely together and start immediate discussions to resolve the conflict.
Trump announced that he would personally contact Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to update him on the call. The former president also stated that he had enlisted key individuals in his team, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA head John Ratcliffe, National Security’s Michael Waltz, and Ambassador Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations. Trump expressed confidence that these efforts would succeed, emphasizing that peace could soon be within reach.
Since the start of the war in February 2022, Trump has repeatedly asserted that had he been in office, the invasion of Ukraine would never have happened. He has pledged to end the war swiftly if he is re-elected, promoting a policy of diplomacy over conflict. Trump highlighted the shared history between the U.S. and Russia, pointing out that both nations fought side by side during World War II, with Russia enduring tremendous losses. He stressed that both nations stand to benefit from future cooperation, but above all, their priority should be to end the suffering caused by the ongoing war.
Trump’s remarks also included a note of gratitude towards Putin for the recent release of Marc Fogel, an American who had been imprisoned in Russia for marijuana possession. Trump welcomed Fogel back to the U.S. and thanked President Putin for his efforts. Trump concluded his message with a call for peace, emphasizing the need to put an end to the violence and prevent further unnecessary loss of life.
In a follow-up post, Trump mentioned a planned meeting in Munich, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would lead a delegation to discuss a peaceful resolution. Trump expressed optimism about the upcoming talks and reiterated his commitment to ending the war that has caused so much devastation.
This diplomatic breakthrough represents a new chapter in the search for peace. Trump’s leadership, based on strong principles of negotiation and diplomacy, could be the key to bringing an end to the conflict that has claimed countless lives.
