Both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Friday, that if progress wasn’t seen soon on peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, then the United Stated would abandon any further negotiations. While speaking to reporters yesterday at the White House, President Trump stated, “Quickly, we want to get it done. Now if for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'you're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people, and we're going to just take a pass. But hopefully we won't have to do that.” While Secretary Rubio stated from Paris, “We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I'm talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks - If it's not possible, if we're so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president is probably at a point where he's going to say, 'well, we're done'.”
