President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning that the United States may withdraw from peace negotiations aimed at ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine if the discussions fail to move forward constructively. Speaking candidly, Trump said that if either country continues to make the process “difficult,” the U.S. would consider stepping away entirely. “We’re going to just take a pass,” he stated, expressing frustration with the current pace of the talks.
Trump’s remarks highlight growing impatience within the U.S. administration as diplomatic efforts between Russia and Ukraine continue without significant breakthroughs. The president suggested that a resolution might be within reach but made it clear that the United States would not allow itself to be dragged into endless discussions without progress.

The comments came shortly after a bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Following their discussions, Trump announced plans to visit Italy “in the very near future,” signaling continued efforts to strengthen U.S.-European relations amid ongoing global tensions.
The U.S. has played a central role in mediating talks and providing support to Ukraine since the onset of the war. However, Trump’s latest remarks indicate a possible shift in strategy, should negotiations remain stagnant.
