The United States Takes Credit for Major Progress in Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks – President Donald Trump

Washington, March 14: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed credit for significant progress in peace talks regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. During a meeting in the Oval Office with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, he made this assertion. At the same time, he reiterated his plan to annex Greenland, citing the increasing influence of Russia and China in the Arctic region as justification.

Trump stated, "This war could have lasted much longer. But we broke a deadlock. I hope it is meaningful."

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte agreed, saying, "Breaking the deadlock was crucial."

However, Ukrainian officials have expressed concerns that Trump may be making excessive concessions to Russia, which they see as the aggressor.

Reintroducing the Plan to Annex Greenland

In the same meeting, Trump once again brought up his plan to incorporate Greenland as part of the United States. He said, "I didn’t give it much thought before, but now I realize it is crucial for international security."

However, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte did not support this plan. He responded, "Whether Greenland becomes part of the United States or not is not something I want to comment on, as I do not want to involve NATO in this discussion."

Nonetheless, he acknowledged the growing influence of China and Russia in the Arctic as a matter of concern. "The Chinese are now using these routes. We know that Russia is rearming, and we lack sufficient icebreakers," Rutte added.

Analysts believe that the Russia-Ukraine war and geopolitical competition in the Arctic region are becoming critical issues for international security. Trump's stance could add a new dimension to these ongoing tensions.
