Trump Ramps Up Foreign Policy Gamble As Ukraine And Gaza Talks Intensify

President Donald Trump is intensifying high-stakes foreign policy efforts as the year ends, using diplomacy and military force to shape conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and beyond.

Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago, saying progress has been made on a revised peace plan to end the war with Russia, though major disagreements remain.

Territorial concessions in eastern Ukraine and long-term security guarantees continue to block a deal. Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown little sign of compromise.

At the same time, Trump has ordered US strikes against ISIS targets in Nigeria and expanded pressure on Venezuela, underscoring a forceful approach as he seeks a defining foreign policy legacy.
