Chris Wright told President Donald Trump and fellow Cabinet members in an Aug. 26 White House meeting, ‘We’re stopping the closure of all these plants.’
‘As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few,’ the first lady’s letter reads.
Although both sides touted progress, the meeting did not yield a breakthrough to end the war. Trump is set to pass on details to Zelenskyy and NATO.
Trump said ‘there’s no deal until there’s a deal’ and said he would consult with NATO and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ukraine’s military has played down the scale of the advance while sending additional troops to the Donetsk frontline, saying the situation has stabilized.
The president says the U.S. role would not involve NATO membership, as a European-led ‘coalition of the willing’ pushes for robust safeguards in any settlement.
After a nearly 3-hour meeting, Tump said the talks were ‘productive’ though no concrete deal was reached. He'll now contact Zelenskyy and NATO.
The meeting could determine the fate of a long-sought peace deal to end the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II.
The two leaders are set to meet in Alaska on Aug. 15 to discuss a way to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict.
The Alaska summit agenda includes one-on-one talks, a bilateral lunch, and a joint press conference.
Trump also wants a second meeting, with both Putin and Zelenskyy, soon after the summit.
On Aug. 13, the German chancellor said Germany would help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that it could use to strike deep inside Russia.
The U.S. president has suggested the meeting could see some ‘land-swapping,’ raising concerns in Kyiv and Brussels.
The president said negotiations may bring both positive and negative outcomes for Ukraine, potentially involving land swaps and changes.
‘I certainly think it’s possible,’ says the U.S. ambassador to NATO.
Vance said Trump might need to force Putin and Zelenskyy ’to sit down to figure out their differences.’
The U.S. president will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of an effort to bring the war in Ukraine to a close.
