In a bold stance on global diplomacy, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin soon to negotiate an end to the ongoing war with Ukraine. Trump emphasized that stopping the violence is a humanitarian priority, distinct from economic considerations.

While his original campaign promises included an immediate resolution upon entering office, Trump's advisers now anticipate that peace negotiations could extend over several months. During a video address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump expressed a burning desire to halt the vast human suffering resulting from the conflict.

He has also laid out a controversial strategy of imposing punitive sanctions on Moscow should they fail to reach a peace agreement and disclosed ongoing efforts to cut nuclear arms, hoping for cooperative moves from Russia and China. Despite setbacks, Trump remains committed to advancing these initiatives.
