Trump believes Putin will honor Ukraine peace deal

Former President Donald Trump expressed trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin to honor a potential peace deal with Ukraine. This statement came during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House. Trump's comments marked a shift from his earlier stance, where he had criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He acknowledged having respect for Zelensky but did not commit to U.S. military support for any peacekeeping efforts. Starmer emphasized the UK's readiness to support a peace deal, but Trump did not indicate support for U.S. forces joining a peacekeeping mission. His responses on military assistance were inconsistent, leading to confusion during the discussion.
