Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Will Happen Soon Or Not At All

President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is on the horizon, but warned that if an agreement isn’t reached soon, it may not happen at all. Trump made the remarks during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, signaling a pivotal moment in international diplomacy.

“I think we’ve made a lot of progress, and I think it’s moving along pretty rapidly,” Trump said. “It’ll either be fairly soon or it won’t be at all.” The former president expressed optimism about recent developments, thanking those involved in the peace process and highlighting the productive discussions with NATO Secretary General and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Key Points:

• High-Stakes Negotiations: Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, suggesting that the window for peace may be closing quickly. The war in Ukraine has resulted in approximately 1 million deaths a staggering figure Trump believes may be even higher.

• Economic Partnership with Ukraine: Trump announced that President Zelensky will visit the White House to sign a “historic agreement” that could position the United States as a “major partner in developing Ukraine’s minerals and rare earths and oil and gases.” This deal could strengthen U.S.-Ukraine ties and bring significant economic benefits to both nations.

• Productive Meeting with the UK: The press conference with Starmer highlighted the strong alliance between the U.S. and the UK. Trump described their talks as “tremendously productive” and stressed the shared goal of ending the “bloody and horrible war in Ukraine.”

Trump reiterated his longstanding position that the war never would have happened under his leadership, pointing to “historic back-to-back calls with President Putin” as evidence of his diplomatic success. His approach stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s ineffective handling of global conflicts, where weak leadership has too often led to prolonged chaos and devastation.

If successful, this peace deal could reshape the geopolitical landscape, bringing stability to Eastern Europe and bolstering America's strategic influence. Trump’s potential partnership with Ukraine’s resource sector could also reduce U.S. dependency on foreign minerals and boost domestic industries.

The world will be watching closely as Zelensky arrives in Washington, D.C. “We’re going to be at the site, and we’ll be digging. We’ll be dig, dig, digging,” Trump quipped, hinting at the economic opportunities ahead.

As the Biden administration floundered for years with a hands-off approach, Trump is once again demonstrating what strong, decisive leadership looks like. If a peace deal is inked in the coming days, it will be yet another reminder that America is back on the world stage and back in business.
