Trump meets NATO’s Mark Rutte as Ukraine ceasefire talks continue

President Donald Trump has sat down with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office as negotiations continue towards a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump opened their remarks to reporters with a statement of optimism, while acknowledging that a ceasefire has been difficult to achieve. “Regarding Ukraine-Russia, we thought it would be a little bit easier. That’s turned out to be tougher than the Middle East,” Trump said. “The Middle East was supposed to be the tough one, and we’ve solved that puzzle, but this one will get solved also.” Rutte, meanwhile, heaped praise onto Trump, telling the US president that NATO hopes to “basically deliver on your vision of peace in Ukraine”.
