Former President Donald Trump struck a cautious tone at the close of a week of high-stakes talks on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, telling reporters, “We’ll see what happens.”

Trump has spent the past several days engaging in discussions with U.S. and international officials, as well as advisers, about possible paths forward in the conflict. While he has repeatedly signaled confidence that he could bring the war to an end, his latest comments suggested a more tentative outlook.

The former president has long criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the war, vowing that under his leadership negotiations would move faster and more decisively. However, his statement at the end of the week appeared to temper expectations, reflecting the complexity of the geopolitical challenges at play.

Trump did not outline specific proposals but indicated that diplomacy remains central to his approach. “We want peace,” he said, reiterating that both Ukraine’s security and global stability remain at stake.

The Ukraine-Russia conflict, now in its third year, has become a focal point in U.S. politics, with Trump using it to contrast his foreign policy record against that of his successor. As the 2024 election season intensifies, his stance on the war is likely to remain under close scrutiny.
