Trump Criticizes Macron and Starmer Over Ukraine War Efforts

Former US President Donald Trump has taken a critical stance against French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, alleging they have failed to make significant progress in ending the war in Ukraine.


In a recent interview, Trump expressed his belief that the leaders lack effectiveness in peace negotiations, stating that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky holds “no cards.” He further emphasized the need for both Russian and Ukrainian leaders to directly engage in discussions to facilitate peace, while also pointing out the extensive support and sanctions imposed by Western nations on Russia since the conflict began.

Trump's remarks come just ahead of planned visits from Macron and Starmer to the White House, where they are expected to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and explore strategies for future engagement.
