US President Donald Trump Hints at Contact with Putin, Promises Continued Efforts to End War
Russia-Ukraine War: Donald Trump, Putin Hold Talks, Trump Remains Tight-Lipped About Details
Date: February 9, 2025 : USA On February 10, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that America is making progress in talks to end the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, Trump declined to disclose any specifics regarding his recent communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that it would be premature to discuss the details of the talks at this stage.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, President Trump indicated that he and Putin had been in contact, marking the first officially acknowledged conversation between the two leaders since early 2022. This marks a significant moment in the diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the war, which has been ongoing for over a year.
When asked whether the conversation took place before or after his inauguration on January 20, President Trump stated, “I’ve had it. Let’s just say I’ve had it. And I expect to have many more conversations. We have to get that war ended.”
Trump further mentioned that he would meet with President Putin at the “right and appropriate time,” hinting at future talks. Despite making several public promises to end the war, Trump has yet to provide a clear strategy or outline for how he intends to bring the conflict to a close.
The U.S. President’s remarks come amid growing global concern over the prolonged war, which has resulted in significant loss of life and displaced millions. While Trump has been vocal about his intentions to work toward peace, questions remain about the specifics of his approach and when substantial progress will be made.
