President Donald Trump expressed hope that Russia's war in Ukraine is nearing its end during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, marking the third anniversary of the invasion. While Trump suggested a potential peace deal involving European peacekeepers in Ukraine and emphasized the possibility of ending the war within weeks, Macron cautioned that any agreement must not result in Ukraine's surrender. Trump also discussed a proposed economic deal involving Ukraine's critical minerals to help repay U.S. aid. The meeting highlighted tensions between the U.S. and Europe over the war and Trump's "America First" foreign policy, which has strained transatlantic relations.
