At White House Meeting, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged Donald Trump to press Russia for a ceasefire, stressing it must be agreed on “by the next meeting.” Merz said he cannot imagine negotiations moving forward without it, while Trump argued wars he claims to have settled ended without formal ceasefires.
The exchange highlights ongoing differences between the U.S., EU, and Ukraine over strategy.
Interestingly, Ukraine’s President Zelensky avoided reiterating his past demands for a ceasefire, signaling a possible softening of his stance.
