\"Trump<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 9 that the United States had made progress in talks to end Russia’s war against Ukraine but declined to disclose details about his communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Speaking<\/a> to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed that he and Putin<\/a> had been in contact<\/a>. Asked whether the conversations occurred before or after his inauguration on Jan. 20, Trump said: “I’ve had it. Let’s just say I’ve had it. \u00a0And I expect to have many more conversations.”<\/p>\n

The president also noted the U.S. was in contact with both Russia and Ukraine<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“If we are talking, I don’t want to tell you about the conversations. I do believe we’re making progress.”<\/p>\n

Trump first revealed he had spoken to Putin during an interview with the New York Post<\/a> on Feb. 8 without revealing specifics of their talk, adding only that the Russian leader “does care” about the deaths on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has pushed for a swift resolution to the war, aiming<\/a> to reach a deal within the first 100 days. On Feb. 7, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reiterated the administration’s aim to end the war “as quickly as possible<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Trump announced on Feb. 7 that he might meet<\/a> with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington in the coming days and expressed interest in a meeting with Putin “very quickly.”<\/p>\n

Washington and Kyiv are reportedly discussing Ukraine’s underground rare earths and “other things<\/a>,” though the U.S. president did not specify further. Trump has previously suggested that Ukraine could provide rare earth minerals<\/a> in exchange for U.S. aid, a proposal Kyiv has been open to discussing.<\/p>\n
