Trump changes his tone, says 'unsure if he can end the Russia-Ukraine conflict', U.S. media: a stark contrast to his campaign promises
[Global Network Report by journalist Zhao Jiandong] According to a report by the U.S. political news site Politico on July 5, U.S. President Trump made a surprising statement to reporters on Air Force One on the 4th: 'I am not sure if I can end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I don't know, I can't tell you if it will happen.' The report stated that Trump's statement sharply contrasts with his campaign pledge to 'quickly end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.'
The report also mentioned that when reporters asked if a ceasefire remains a priority, Trump responded, 'Yes, I hope to see that happen.' Politico noted that during his campaign, Trump promised he would 'be able to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict on his first day in office,' but later retracted this promise during an interview with Time magazine, claiming it was merely 'an exaggeration.'
Additionally, Trump stated on the 4th: 'The situation in Ukraine is the Biden administration's issue, not mine; I am trying to solve it.' The report noted that although he had previously spoken with both Putin and Zelensky, he admitted that his dialogue with Putin 'did not yield any progress.'
