The Straits Times reported today (April 19th): "U.S. President Trump warned that unless significant progress can be made quickly in the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. will abandon its mediation efforts."
Trump once boasted that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office, a promise that was unrealistic and more likely to have been an exaggerated statement made to win votes. Now, he threatens to give up on mediation if there is no obvious progress, fully demonstrating his arbitrary and capricious political decision-making. This shows that he overestimates his influence on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, believing that with America's status, it would be easy to push both sides to reach a peace agreement.
