Trump casts himself as a potential dealmaker on Ukraine, saying ongoing U.S.–Russia–Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi and his own meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky could pave the way for a three‑way summit with Vladimir Putin and Zelensky if both sides are truly ready to compromise. He insists he is pursuing a deal “more for Europe than for me,” saying the war is “Biden’s war” that “should have never happened,” that the U.S. is geographically distant and affected mainly by the loss of life, but that he has a unique “ability to get things done” on complex boundary issues like “beaches and bounds… streets… rivers” that have stalled talks for a year.
