The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Sunday that he was hope that Russia and Ukraine could reach a peace agreement within the week, offering the possibility of great business opportunities with the US. UU. If they do, AFP reported.
“Hopefully Russia and Ukraine reach an agreement this week,” Trump published in Truth Social. “Both will begin to do great business with the United States of America, which is thriving and will make a fortune.”
Trump’s comments occurred after noticing on April 18 that the United States would move away from negotiations if any part stagnated conversations. “If for any reason, one of the two parts makes it very difficult … we are just going to take a pass,” he said.
The comments were published during a Easter truce declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, reported more than 2,000 violations and proposed a 30 -day ban on long -range attacks. The Kremlin has not responded.
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky dismissed the fire as a “media trick” intended to appease Trump. Meanwhile, the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, said that Washington can abandon their efforts if they are not progressing.
The Trump administration has emphasized economic incentives throughout its mediation efforts. After a telephone call from March with Putin, the White House highlighted the potential of “huge economic agreements” between the United States and Russia.
Trump is also supporting a mineral agreement with Ukraine, giving the United States broad access to natural resources income in exchange for previous military support. The agreement does not include security guarantees.
