Trump said he could determine within two minutes whether a deal was reached, drawing skepticism from the outside.

On August 12 local time, Trump made a statement regarding his upcoming meeting with Putin:

Trump: "In the first two minutes, I will know whether we can reach an agreement."

Reporter: "How do you know?"

Trump: "Because that's my job - I make deals."

[Witty] Comment: What Trump refers to as a "deal" might be nothing more than treating Ukraine's territory as a bargaining chip. Relying on just two minutes of eye contact to determine the success or failure of negotiations is utterly absurd. If they can't reach an agreement in two minutes, and then just walk away, such a childish attitude would never help push for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. From initially boasting that he could solve it within 24 hours of taking office, to one month, six months, all the way until the end of his term, Trump is likely to continue "talking big" about this conflict without making any substantial contributions.
