Donald Trump stated on October 7, 2025, that his initiative for a peaceful settlement in the Middle East is nearing completion. However, in his opinion, the situation with Russian aggression against Ukraine may prove to be more complex.
Meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada
During a conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump once again called the war in Ukraine “madness.” He noted that his relations with the Russian leader, which he considered good, did not meet expectations.
Trump reported that 7,812 people died in Ukraine last week. This, according to him, underscores the complexity of the situation, which he previously considered easily resolvable thanks to his connections with Putin.
Comparison with the Middle East
The American president emphasized that his plan for the Middle East was supported by almost all countries in the world. After years of conflict that claimed millions of lives, there is hope for a peaceful resolution.
Preceding Events
Last week, Trump gave a “final warning” to Hamas, setting a deadline for accepting his peace plan for the Gaza Strip and Israel.
Trump’s disappointment in Putin may be related to the provision of false information about the war in Ukraine. The Russian leader demonstrated maps with occupation plans that were not realized.
Plans for Ukraine
Trump also mentioned possible deliveries of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine but emphasized that he first wants to understand how they will be used.
These statements highlight the complexity of international politics, where personal relationships and diplomatic efforts intertwine with real challenges.
