'A sad day': Trump, Rubio say U.S. will 'take a pass' on Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon - MSNBC Prime



Secretary of State Marco Rubio is saying that the U.S. is ready to “move on” from peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, if there is no clear progress in the coming days, telling reporters, "We’re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end." Donald Trump echoed that sentiment when asked about it today in the Oval Office. - Aired on 04/18/2025.

Especially the EU. They have drawn the line in the sand and that line is…it must stop here. They will no longer live with the threat that putin will be back. They are not only supplying what they need, but are getting closer to putting boots on the ground, more as advisors but that’s still a very big shift in man power

Putin and Russia are in serious shape. Putin has already lost, and he pretty much knows it, but also knows he will probably be ousted if he stops fighting. His time grows short!

Tweedledee and Tweedledum. I hope Ukraine is now putting all their eggs in the Europe basket.

7. I don't think this is new for him. He's the typical immigrant that sees it as I have mine screw the rest of you.

Very sick.

Of course not saying all immigrants are like that, but they are out there. Especially the Cuban American community in south FL. he’s one of their biggest supporters
