Former U.S. President and current Republican candidate, Donald Trump, vowed to “resolve” the ongoing war in Ukraine following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York on September 27, 2024. Trump, who had previously shown reluctance to support Ukraine’s war efforts, emphasized that the conflict “should never have happened” and described it as a “complex puzzle.” The meeting at Trump Tower was seen as a significant gesture, with Trump calling for a “fair agreement for all” while highlighting the positive tone of the dialogue.
Trump’s comments mark a potential shift in his approach to the conflict, signaling possible new strategies if elected. The meeting, occurring amid Trump’s presidential campaign, raised questions about how U.S. policy toward Ukraine may evolve under his leadership.
