Trump 'frustrated' by inability to broker end to Russia's war against Ukraine, WSJ reports

President Donald Trump expressed frustration on May 9, 2025, about his inability to end Russia's war against Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Trump's frustration follows his repeated campaign promises to resolve these conflicts quickly, which remain unfulfilled amid complex negotiations and difficult counterparts like Russia and Tehran.
He admitted privately that negotiating peace is challenging, highlighted by public missteps with Ukraine's President Zelensky and difficulties in securing terms agreeable to Iran and Middle Eastern actors.
Trump announced a 30-day unconditional ceasefire proposal for Russia and Ukraine on May 8, 2025, stating sanctions would follow if violated, while experts emphasize that diplomatic success requires hard work beyond rhetoric.
These ongoing struggles suggest Trump's major foreign policy goals remain out of reach, with regional business deals and diplomacy complicated by current warfare and political realities in the Middle East.
