Points of attention
- Donald Trump faces difficulties in resolving international conflicts, notably ending Russia's war against Ukraine.
- The US president's efforts to negotiate with Vladimir Putin have resulted in growing frustration and sleepless nights.
- Despite more than 100 days in office, significant progress in resolving conflicts like the Iran nuclear program and trade wars remains elusive, causing concerns.
Trump overestimated his own strength
The Wall Street Journal learned from his insiders that the head of the White House described his efforts to stop Russia's war against Ukraine as "growing frustration."
Moreover, Trump complained about sleepless nights because of the impossibility of resolving this problem.
The US president's associates asked what foreign policy challenges were the most difficult for him.
Trump frankly admitted that conducting negotiations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was especially difficult.
He wants to get everything, the American leader complained, referring to Ukraine.
What is important to understand is that more than 100 days have passed since Donald Trump returned to the White House, but there is still no significant progress.
None of the conflicts has come close to being resolved: negotiations to stop Iran's nuclear program have reached a dead end, and the trade war is worsening relations with allies, the publication emphasizes.
