Donald Trump is ready to walk away from trying to negotiate a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless progress is made, a top US official has warned.
If the president doesn’t see signs that an agreement is on the horizon he will call it a day because he has ‘other priorities’ to focus on, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday.
‘We’re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks.
‘If it is we’re in. If it’s not, then we have other priorities to focus on as well,’ Rubio said in Paris, after meeting European and Ukrainian leaders.
Rubio said Trump was still interested in a deal but was willing to move on if there were no immediate signs of progress.
‘If it’s not possible, if we’re so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president’s probably at a point where he’s going to say, ‘well, we’re done’, he said.
‘The United States has been helping Ukraine over the last three years, and we want it to end, but it’s not our war,’ Rubio added.
