Months of efforts from the US have failed to help, despite Trump promising he could end the war in \u201924 hours\u2019 (Picture: Reuters)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Negotiations to end the war between Ukraine<\/a> and Russia<\/a> are \u2018coming to a head\u2019 \u2013 but the US<\/a> has suggested that if no progress is made, they will \u2018move on\u2019 from the discussions.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested the US would stop helping after months of efforts had failed to bring an end to the fighting.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> added: \u2018Now, if for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we\u2019re just going to say you\u2019re foolish. You are fools, you horrible people.<\/p>\n

\u2018And we\u2019re going to just take a pass. But hopefully, we won\u2019t have to do that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump previously claimed he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine \u2018within 24 hours\u2019. <\/p>\n

Rubio\u2019s remarks came as talks in Paris among US, Ukrainian and European officials have produced steps toward peace and appeared to make some long-awaited progress.<\/p>\n

Another meeting is expected next week in London, and Rubio suggested it could be decisive in determining whether the Trump administration continues its involvement.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are now reaching a point where we need to decide whether this is even possible or not,\u2019 Rubio said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Because if it\u2019s not, then I think we\u2019re just going to move on. It\u2019s not our war. We have other priorities to focus on.\u2019<\/p>\n

The road to a complete truce will be long, Rubio said, despite Trump repeatedly claiming on the campaign trail that he could end the war within a day.<\/p>\n

Trump said last month that he was \u2018being a little bit sarcastic.\u2019<\/p>\n

U.S. Vice President JD Vance struck a more hopeful tone in Rome on Friday, ahead of talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.<\/p>\n

\u2018I won\u2019t prejudge them [negotiations], but we do feel optimistic that we can hopefully bring this war, this very brutal war, to a close.\u2019<\/p>\n

In January, Trump was more direct in his request to Russian leader\u00a0Vladimir Putin<\/a>, telling him to \u2018settle now and stop this ridiculous war\u2019.<\/p>\n

Trump did say he had no desire to hurt\u00a0Russia\u00a0\u2013 which he noted had played a major role in securing victory for the Allies against Nazi Germany in the Second World War.<\/p>\n

But Trump has been sceptical of the billions of dollars the Biden administration provided Ukraine in weapons and other material to defend itself. <\/p>\n

The US often provides military aid to other countries \u2013 for example, in 2023, $3.8 billion of aid was given to Israel.<\/p>\n
