MBABANE:The United States President Donald Trump says the US could withdraw from peace talks with Ukraine and Russia if the two(2) sides fail to make progress toward ending their three-year war, Fox News reported.
Trump made the comments during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, telling host Kristen Welker that there is “tremendous hatred" between Ukraine and Russia.
The President says he remains hopeful a peace deal is possible, but confirmed that the U.S. would not remain a mediator indefinitely.
"I do believe we're closer with one party. And maybe not as close with the other, but we’ll have to see.Five thousand soldiers a week on average, are dying. They’re not American soldiers. But I want to solve the problem,” said the US President.
"How long do you give both countries before you’re going to walk away?” Welker asked.
"Well, there will be a time when I will say, okay, keep going, keep being stupid," Trump replied.
