Trump "tones down rhetoric" on his campaign promises: Ending war is harder - Hill
During the election campaign, Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine quickly, cut prices and use tariffs to support the economy and industries. However, he now admits that this is not so easy.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in the article by The Hill.
At his first press conference after the election, Trump said that ending the war in Ukraine would be more difficult than easing tensions in the Middle East. And the resolution of the war depends on the willingness of Ukraine and Russia to compromise.
In addition, in a recent interview with "Meet the Press", Trump said that he could not guarantee that the duties would not lead to higher consumer prices. And in an interview with Time magazine for its "Man of the Year" award, he admitted that it is difficult to reduce food costs when they have already risen.
"While Democrats and critics accused Trump of lowering expectations or signaling he would not deliver on his campaign promises, the Trump transition and other allies argued it was the president-elect shifting from sweeping campaign rhetoric to the nuances and realities of governing," the article says.
Earlier, Reuters reported that Trump, during a meeting with Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, said he wanted negotiations to end the war quickly.
