President Trump claimed Thursday that “I have my own deadline” for ending Russia’s war on Ukraine — expressing tepid hope for keeping his peace drive alive after his administration floated earlier this week that it would wash its hands of the conflict.
“I think we’re gonna, I hope we’re gonna get there, for the sake of a lot of young people that are dying,” Trump told reporters ahead of a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre at the White House. “I have my own deadline. I have my own deadline, and we want it to be fast.”
Earlier Thursday, Trump fired off a frustrated Truth Social post telling Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP” firing missiles into Kyiv, after the largest missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital in nearly a year killed at least 12 people and injured at least 90 more.
