US EditionTrump says new US peace plan not 'final offer' to Ukraine
Trump's 28-point peace plan would require Ukraine to cede territory and limit its military, but he said it is not his final offer ahead of talks in Geneva.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump said his administration's 28-point peace proposal is `not my final offer`, pressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept by Thanksgiving.
- Trump framed the effort as a 2024 campaign promise to quickly end the war, meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy multiple times and hosting Russian President Vladimir Putin this year, while Army Secretary Dan Driscoll this past week traveled to Kyiv.

- Secretary Rubio and special envoy Witkoff will travel to Geneva on Sunday to meet a Ukrainian delegation, joining Army Secretary Dan Driscoll who arrived Saturday to work on next steps with the E3.
