Trump-Putin Call Shifts U.S. Role in Ukraine War as Ceasefire Talks Resume
In a surprising turn of events, Trump-Putin Call Shifts U.S. Role in Ukraine War as Ceasefire Talks Resume. U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a two-hour phone call on Monday that has reignited hope for a potential ceasefire in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Trump, who once claimed he could broker peace “within 24 hours,” now seems to be taking a more subdued role urging Russia and Ukraine to negotiate directly, possibly with the help of the Vatican.
