In what may go down as one of the most consequential diplomatic maneuvers in recent history, former President Donald J. Trump has done what no Western leader has managed in over three years of war: bring Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the negotiating table.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump’s direct phone call with Putin resulted in a formal agreement for a bilateral meeting between the two wartime leaders. A potential trilateral summit with Trump himself could follow.
This is not just news—it’s a historic breakthrough. And for Trump, long painted by critics as too bold, too unconventional, or too unpredictable, the result speaks for itself. He got Putin to move.
THE ART OF THE DEAL, REAPPLIED ON A GLOBAL STAGE
While global leaders have held press conferences, summits, and issued strongly worded condemnations, none had succeeded in drawing Putin and Zelenskyy into direct dialogue—until now. According to Leavitt, Trump took the initiative, cut through the red tape, and reignited stalled diplomacy with a single call.
Even critics are being forced to acknowledge the moment. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said, I think in the past two weeks, we’ve probably had more progress in ending this war than in the past three-and-a-half years. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer admitted, Nobody has been able to bring it to this point.
NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND, ONLY RESULTS
Trump’s America-First stance is once again proving effective. No endless war, no open-ended military commitment—just high-level coordination. Trump confirmed that the U.S. could provide security guarantees “by air,” but ruled out sending American troops. It’s peace through strength—without sacrificing American lives.
A FIRST STEP TOWARD ENDING THE WAR
No one is claiming the war ends tomorrow. But real peace begins with dialogue—and that dialogue is happening because of Trump. The Biden-era paralysis is over. Trump is restoring America’s role not just as a global superpower, but as a peacemaker.
In a world hungry for leadership, President Trump delivered.
