President Donald Trump is seeking to end the war in Ukraine by collaborating with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The prince is expected to help mediate peace talks, enhancing Saudi Arabia's role on the global stage. Trump aims for a quick resolution and views Saudi Arabia as a key partner. If initial talks with Russia succeed, a potential meeting between Trump and President Vladimir Putin could take place in Riyadh within a month.
