TSF weighs whether to deepen his involvement in Ukraine war talks - or leave things to Putin and Zelensky

Two weeks after his high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of tangible progress he’s made to end the war in Ukraine and is contemplating how involved he should be personally in brokering a meeting between Kremlin and Ukrainian leaders, administration officials tell CNN.

The president, the officials say, is particularly irritated with the pace of negotiations and lack of progress following his meeting with the Russian leader.

Just 72 hours after the face-to-face with Putin in Alaska, Trump gathered seven European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, stepping away to call his Russian counterpart as he sought to broker peace. But since then, progress has slowed dramatically. And in public, Trump has sometimes downplayed the role he would have to play in bringing about an end to the war — or even bringing the Russians and Ukrainians to the bargaining table.

“It’s gotta be up to them. It takes two to tango,” Trump said Monday in response to questions about whether Russia has committed to a meeting with Zelensky.
