... Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to discuss a peace deal to end the war, Trump was asked about his message to the families of the fallen Americans.

"The message is so obvious," he replied. "What a shame. They died in a foreign country. And some are celebrated people, they're very celebrated. But it's so sad that a thing like that would happen."

During the 2024 campaign Trump promised that, were he elected, he would negotiate a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. But he's been in office now for nearly a year and hasn't made any progress whatsoever. Russia, meanwhile, has actually escalated their relentless and barbaric bombing of civilians in Ukraine.
