Trump 'frustrated' by inability to broker end to Russia's war against Ukraine, WSJ reports
- According to a report published on May 9, 2025, President Donald Trump privately conveyed his frustration over being unable to resolve the conflicts in Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas.
- Trump's frustration stems from unfulfilled 2024 campaign promises to resolve these wars quickly, blaming the Biden administration and citing difficult negotiations with Russia and Gaza parties.
- He privately acknowledged the longstanding nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict, stating the parties had “been fighting for a thousand years,” and voiced concerns about Russia's demands for all of Ukraine.
- On May 8, Trump urged both Russia and Ukraine to observe a ceasefire lasting 30 days without conditions and warned that additional sanctions would follow if the truce was violated, while also acknowledging the difficulty of negotiating with Putin.
- The ongoing diplomatic difficulties imply that Trump's major foreign policy goals for his second term, including peace in Gaza and halting Iran's nuclear program, remain elusive.
