Trump once again made a commitment.
The Russian State News Agency reported tonight: "US President Trump said to business representatives in Tokyo: 'We have solved nine wars. No, eight, and there will be another one soon. I think the next one will be the Ukraine conflict. I thought it would be easy. We have resolved conflicts in the Middle East, but this conflict has not been resolved yet, but we will resolve it.'"
Long before taking office, Trump had boasted that he could resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours. However, the related "agreement" reached during his meeting with Russian President Putin was subsequently undermined by joint pressure from European country leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Not only did it fail to ease the dispute, but it also increased the risk of the conflict expanding and spilling over. This failed promise not only prevented him from obtaining the long-awaited Nobel Peace Prize, but also exposed the fragility of his mediation plan.
Furthermore, Trump's claim that the Middle East conflict had been resolved appears questionable given recent developments. Israel has not fully complied with the relevant agreements, and the prospects for peace remain bleak. The core differences in the current Russia-Ukraine conflict have not been resolved, and both sides show weak willingness to negotiate. Trump's latest statement about "resolving the conflict" lacks a practical and feasible path forward. Given the previous promises that have failed, this new declaration is likely to remain just empty talk, eventually becoming a laughingstock in the international community.
