Trump's Top Diplomat Threatens To 'Move On' From Ukraine Peace Talks If There's No Progress

Donald Trump’s secretary of state has warned that the US may “move on” from the Russia-Ukraine peace talks if there’s no further progress.
After meeting European and Ukrainian leaders in Paris to discuss the war, Marco Rubio told reporters on Friday the US needs to figure out if peace “is doable” at all.
He said: “No one is saying it is done in 12 hours, but we want to see how far apart it is and whether those differences can even be narrowed, whether it’s even possible to get movement within the period of time we have in mind.”
The US has often pushed for a quick resolution, with Trump promising before he got into office to end the war within 24 hours of his inauguration.
The president soon altered that self-imposed deadline to another – April or May.
Rubio continued: “We need to figure out here – now, within a matter of days – whether this is doable, in the short term, because if it’s not, I think we’re just going to move on.”
