Washington still hopes to see the fighting stop, the US President has stated
US President Donald Trump has said that Washington could abandon efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict if Moscow and Kiev don't engage in negotiations. He added, however, the US still hopes to see the fighting come to an end.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump was asked to comment on remarks by the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had suggested that the White House could walk away from efforts to broker a settlement.
"If for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say you're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people," Trump said, adding "We're going to just take a pass, but hopefully we won't have to do that."
