Trump found a reason why he can't end Russia's war against Ukraine
Speaking at the opening of the "Shield of America" summit, Trump once again said that he was the one who ended 8 wars and the ninth is on the way. According to him, resolving the war in Ukraine seemed the easiest, but hatred took its toll.
You understand, the hatred between Putin and his colleague (Zelensky — ed.) is so great... It would seem that Ukraine, Russia, one could expect at least a little camaraderie, but there is none. And the hatred is so strong that it is very difficult for them (to come to a decision — ed.).

President of the United States
He also noted that negotiations to end the war in Ukraine have come close to an agreement many times, but each time one of the parties backed down.
It's very, very difficult for them to come to that, so we'll see what happens. But we've been close to that many times, and one side has backed down.
Summing up, the president added that the US is not losing anything in particular, but only Ukraine and Russia are losing (probably people). In addition, Trump made it clear that trying to end the war in Ukraine is his service to Europe.
You know, it doesn't really affect us that much because we're separated by an ocean. I'm doing this as a service to Europe, and I'm doing this as a service to life.
