U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are "very well advanced" and credited Russia for its role in the negotiations. The statement came as he met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House.
President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about the ongoing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, stating that negotiations are progressing well, though no final deal has been reached.
During a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the Oval Office, Trump said he believed a peace agreement with Russia would hold and dismissed concerns about further conflict. "I think Russia has been acting very well," Trump said. "I think we're very well advanced on the deal, but we have not made a deal yet."
Starmer, in turn, urged the U.S. to provide a security "backstop" for any European forces involved in a potential peacekeeping role in Ukraine once talks conclude. He praised Trump for "changing the conversation" to bring a peace deal closer.
When asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin could be trusted, Trump replied: "Trust and verify."
