President Trump warned that the US may withdraw from peace negotiations with Ukraine unless significant progress is made soon. This follows Secretary of State Marco Rubio's comments indicating a potential shift in US involvement amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine. A minerals deal between the US and Ukraine is also in the works.
The US has been involved in brokering peace talks between Russia and Ukraine since the onset of the conflict in February 2022. Recent discussions have seen little progress, prompting US officials to reconsider their role in the negotiations.
