**US President Trump Threatens to Abandon Ukraine Peace Talks**
In a developing story, US President Donald Trump has warned that he will abandon efforts to end Russia’s war against Ukraine if progress is not made. This comes as Ukraine and its allies intensify their efforts to bring an end to the conflict.
Speaking on May 19, Trump said: “I tell you, big egos involved, but I think something’s going to happen. And if it doesn’t, I just back away, and they’re going to have to keep going.” This statement suggests that Trump is willing to give up on finding a solution to the conflict if his efforts are not successful.
**Trump Believes Putin Wants to End the War**

He said: “I said, ‘When are we going to end this bloodshed, this blood bath?’ It’s a blood bath, and I do believe he wants to end it.” This statement is significant, as it suggests that Trump believes there is hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
**Phone Call with Putin Falls Short**
