Trump posted today (April 21) and said, "I hope Russia and Ukraine can reach an agreement this week. When that happens, the two countries will start doing big business with the thriving US and earn a huge amount of wealth!"
The former claim that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours after taking office urged Russia and Ukraine to reach an agreement this week, perhaps because he is eager to present diplomatic achievements during his first hundred days in office to fulfill his campaign promises, thus alleviating internal and external pressures.
However, his description of the "beautiful prospects" after facilitating the agreement as two countries doing big business with the US and earning huge wealth is overly simplistic and crude while being highly utilitarian. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has deep-seated geopolitical, historical, cultural, and other multi-faceted reasons, which cannot be simply resolved through commercial interests. Russia has always emphasized security concerns, and NATO's continuous eastward expansion is an important root cause of the conflict, so it will not easily compromise due to commercial interests. Ukraine also faces complex issues such as territorial sovereignty and national sentiment, making it difficult to make concessions on matters involving core national interests.
