Trump Calls for Ceasefire in Russia-Ukraine War

Former President Donald Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, urging Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate peace. He criticized President Biden's financial support to Ukraine, claiming the U.S. has spent $300 billion compared to Europe's $100 billion, and argued that the burden on American taxpayers is unjustified. Trump also accused Zelenskyy of mismanaging U.S. aid and suggested that only his administration could successfully mediate an end to the war, asserting that the conflict should never have started. He described Zelenskyy as a dictator and emphasized the need for equal contributions from Europe in funding the war efforts. Additionally, a Trump advisor echoed these sentiments, claiming that Trump is the only leader capable of effectively negotiating with Putin and other global leaders. The overarching message from Trump and his allies is that a return to his leadership would pave the way for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
