US President Donald Trump is disappointed that he could not solve world crises as quickly as he planned.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Last week, the US President spoke to donors. Trump described the process of ending russia's war in Ukraine as "a growing frustration that keeps him awake at night." Trump considers negotiations with russian leader vladimir putin difficult because he [putin] "wants everything." Trump also finds it difficult to find a solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because the parties "have been fighting for a thousand years."
Ending the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip as soon as possible is one of Donald Trump's main campaign promises. He has repeatedly said that neither conflict would have started if he were US President. And he promised to end the war in Ukraine "in one day," which he later denied and called "an exaggeration."
But now that Trump’s presidency has passed the 100-day mark, the wars are nowhere near over. A trade war with allies and stalled negotiations over a nuclear deal with Iran are not helping matters.
In recent weeks, Trump has privately complained to his advisers that putin doesn’t want the war to end and that both sides are refusing to compromise. Trump also asked his advisers if they thought putin had changed since Trump’s first presidency. The US President has been surprised by some of russia’s military moves, including bombing areas where children are.
Trump may consider his job in Ukraine done if he forces Moscow and Kyiv to start direct talks, the WSJ sources said. The rest will depend on Ukraine and russia - and the US will focus on other priorities.
