President Donald Trump is taking a hands-off, almost detached approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine after his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, suggesting “sometimes, you have to let them fight” to bring the conflict to a close. Trump made the comment to journalists on Air Force One, offering a blunt perspective on the path to peace following his discussions with Xi on the Russia-Ukraine situation.
While the meeting between the two global leaders was supposed to be a step towards a real resolution, Trump’s full quote gives you a much clearer picture of what he actually took away from the discussion. Trump told reporters that he and Xi talked about the war “for a long time”. The President went on to say, “We agreed the sides are locked in, and they are fighting and sometimes, you have to let them fight, I guess … crazy.”
