Donald Trump met his German equivalent Friedrich Merz on Thursday. The conversation was primarily aimed at strengthening the bond between Washington and Berlin and discussing matters related to trade, but one of the important topics was also the war in Ukraine and the possibility of its completion. According to CNN, Trump admitted that maybe this is not a good time to intervene. Earlier, the US president announced that the White House could withdraw from negotiations on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Now he used a surprising analogy – he compared the fighting pages to the beating children.
CNN about Trump's comment: sincere confession
In an interview with German Chancellor, Donald Trump admitted that the war in Ukraine is not close to the ending, and outside intervention is not a good idea. “Sometimes you see two small children fighting like crazy,” said Trump quoted by CNN. “They hate each other and fight in the park, you try to separate them, and they don't want it,” he added, emphasizing that “sometimes it is better to let them fight for a while”, and only then try to interrupt it.
Donald Trump announced that he used similar words in a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “It was a sincere confession by Trump, a verbal equivalent of distribution of hands to a problem that he cannot solve,” comments at CNN Kevin Liptak, a journalist specializing in matters related to the White House and the USA. The author of the article points out that for the US President, the road from the oath that he would end the war in Ukraine in one day, to say that he would not separate “fighting children”, was “frustrating”.
He reminded that the US president tried various methods, including He delayed the imposition of new sanctions on Moscow, he temporarily did not approve military assistance for Ukraine, allegedly counting on the fact that in the case of a truce he would no longer be needed. He also plans further talks. According to CNN, he will probably meet personally with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelnski at the top of group 7 in Canada scheduled for mid -June.
