Trump Labels Russia-Ukraine Conflict 'Biden's War,' Claims 2020 Election Rigging, Struggles to Secure Ceasefire Within 100 Days

President Donald Trump has publicly distanced himself from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, labeling it as "Biden's war" and attributing its origins to the previous administration under Joe Biden. Trump has criticized Biden for failing to prevent the conflict and has suggested that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was rigged, implying that the war would not have occurred otherwise. Throughout his first term, Trump claimed he prevented the war from happening, despite increased Russian aggression against Ukraine during that period, which ultimately led to the 2022 invasion.

Since taking office, Trump has actively sought to negotiate a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev but has struggled to secure meaningful concessions from the Kremlin. Initially promising to end the war within a day, insiders now report that Trump aims to achieve a ceasefire within his first 100 days in office. However, the peace efforts have faced difficulties, and there is concern that if the conflict continues, responsibility for the war will increasingly be associated with Trump rather than Biden. Analysts note that while Trump’s rush for peace is faltering, he still retains diplomatic options to influence the situation.
