US Edition'We'll know in two weeks' if Putin serious about ending war, Trump says
- Since late April 2025, President Donald Trump has repeatedly indicated that within approximately two weeks he will make a determination about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is genuinely committed to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
- Trump’s ongoing use of two-week deadlines reflects his uncertainty about applying new sanctions on Moscow or abandoning peace efforts amid slow progress in talks.
- Trump has expressed frustration with Putin’s behavior, describing him as having 'gone absolutely crazy,' while awaiting a Kremlin memorandum before the next peace talks in Istanbul.
- Trump said, "We'll find out whether or not he’s tapping us along," and later added, "If he is, we’ll respond a little bit differently," indicating a waiting period before adjusting U.S. Policy.
- This two-week period will likely determine Trump’s next steps, implying potential shifts in sanctions or mediation based on Putin's intentions and the progress of peace talks.
