With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump will have contact with him after his phone call with Vladimir Putin, said White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt, with J.D. Vance saying in a statement that if there is no deal with Russia, the U.S. will have to walk away.

According to Levitt, Donald Trump‘s goal is “to achieve a ceasefire.” However, he is very frustrated with both sides of the conflict, though he remains open to meeting with his Russian counterpart.

The White House is signaling that “everything is on the table” for the future, including possible secondary sanctions. “I think I can sum up the president’s foreign policy in two words: America first. And that means the American people and American taxpayers come first,” Levitt noted.

The United States and its citizens, the American people, and the voters, are the priority.

He said, the U.S. president is “moving as fast as he can and working overtime to end the conflicts in both Israel and Gaza and the war between Russia and Ukraine.”

He added that Vladimir Putin, who is expected to hold talks with Donald Trump, “doesn’t seem to know” how to get out of the war. “We understand there is a bit of a deadlock here,” he told reporters. “I think the president will ask President Putin to be honest about his intentions.”
