US President Donald Trump says he hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal “this week,” promising “big business with the United States” for both combatants if a truce is signed.

“Hopefully Russia amd (sic) Ukraine will make a deal this week,” Trump posts to his Truth Social network, without giving details of any progress in the peace talks. Washington has sought to push forward since Trump took over from former US president Joe Biden in January.
