Trump named the condition for the US withdrawal from negotiations regarding the Russian war against Ukraine
The American leader was asked to comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement that the US will withdraw from the negotiation process on Ukraine if there are no signs in the coming days that an agreement between Kyiv and Moscow is possible in the coming weeks.
There is no exact time frame, but we want to do it quickly. This is about lives. People are dying.
Donald Trump
President of the United States
According to him, 2,500 people are dying every week in the brutal battle. Therefore, the US "ideally" intends to stop it.
If for some reason one of the parties creates serious obstacles, we will simply say: "You are stupid, you are terrible people," and we will abandon everything. But, hopefully, it will not come to that. Marco (Secretary of State Marco Rubio — ed.) is right when he says that we want this to end.
He also added that many people are dying every day while "someone continues to play games." And the US is not going to do that now.
At the same time, Trump noted that there was a "good chance" of resolving such a problem. And he was "not willing to talk" about the US withdrawing from the peace talks.
