House GOP representatives nominate Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize, citing his efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war and other diplomatic achievements.

President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in the quest for a path to end the war with Russia.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that it was clear at Friday's U.S.-Russia Alaska summit that U.S. President Donald Trump and his team sincerely wanted to achieve a long-term and sustainable peace in Ukraine.

For years, Donald Trump criticized presidents for empty threats. He often pointed to then-President Barack Obama failing to enforce his “red line” on Syria using chemical weapons. During his first term in 2017, Trump called it a “blank threat” that cost us “in many other parts of the world.”

President Donald Trump said on social media Saturday that a deal better than “a mere Ceasefire” is in the works with Vladimir Putin, hours after Trump’s high-stakes summit with the Russian leader in Alaska failed to produce an agreement to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday that European leaders had failed to outplay Donald Trump, but that it was unclear how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy would present the issues of territory and a security guarantee.

Stephen A. Smith argued that Democratic presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton are responsible for the Russia-Ukraine war breaking out, not Trump, during his podcast on Monday.

President Donald Trump said European nations would be willing to commit soldiers to protect Ukraine from further Russian attacks.
