As the Russian president slow-walks peace talks, GOP leaders hope to pressure their own president into taking a tougher stance.

Trump compared war in Ukraine to children fighting in a park during a meeting with German Chancellor Merz, who emphasized that Trump is "the key person" who can pressure Russia to end the conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the Russian leader told him “very strongly” that he will respond to Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russian airfields.

President Donald Trump’s suggestion that he may let Russia and Ukraine keep fighting has left US lawmakers in an awkward spot over their plan to force a ceasefire with “bone-crushing” sanctions against Moscow.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz discusses his meeting with President Donald Trump and why he asked to increase the pressure on Russia to end its war against Ukraine.

"It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace," President Trump posted on social media.

Trump said his latest call with Putin wouldn't lead to "immediate peace" as he relayed the Russian leader's plans to retaliate against Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials say at least five people, including a 1-year-old child, his mother and grandmother, were killed in a Russian drone strike on a northern Ukrainian overnight.

Following a lengthy call, Trump said Putin could help bring Iran to a nuclear agreement and warned Tehran's delay must end soon.
