Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed confidence in his ability to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the ongoing strikes in Ukraine. As he arrived at an event with Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, a reporter asked Trump if he thought Putin would listen to him regarding halting the attacks. “I do,” Trump responded.
Trump has previously stated that his relationship with Putin could be instrumental in bringing about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. He emphasized his skills in deal-making and international negotiations, suggesting that direct dialogue could lead to a ceasefire. “I know I could get him to stop,” Trump has said in earlier remarks.
The conflict in Ukraine has escalated tensions globally, with many leaders calling for an end to the violence. Trump’s comments highlight a belief in personal diplomacy as a potential pathway to peace, stirring discussions on alternative approaches to international conflict resolution among young observers worldwide.
