U.S. President Donald Trump voiced optimism Sunday that Russia and Ukraine could strike a peace deal within days.
Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump declared, “BOTH WILL THEN START TO DO BIG BUSINESS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH IS THRIVING, AND MAKE A FORTUNE!”
The message underscored Trump’s continued push for economic diplomacy, tying potential peace to lucrative future partnerships with the U.S.
Since taking office in January, Trump’s administration has launched active diplomatic engagements aimed at resolving the conflict, which has devastated parts of Eastern Europe.
Officials from Washington have maintained backchannel discussions with both Moscow and Kyiv, encouraging a negotiated solution over prolonged warfare.
Trump’s remarks reflect a growing urgency to halt the violence, while also framing peace as a gateway to prosperity and international trade.
While the president offered no details on potential terms, his statement hinted at incentives that could reshape post-war alliances.
Observers remain cautious, as prior ceasefire efforts have collapsed under the weight of mistrust and battlefield realities.
Still, Trump’s emphasis on economic revival suggests a strategy of leveraging U.S. market power to broker a historic accord.
As diplomatic momentum builds, all eyes now turn to whether rhetoric can transform into resolution on the ground.
