00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says that Washington may have to, quote,
00:06take a pass on Ukraine as he shares that ceasefire negotiations are coming to a head.
00:11His remarks came after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned on Friday
00:15that the U.S. may have to move on from ceasefire efforts if no progress is made in the coming days.
00:21Trump called any party that decides to make negotiations difficult, fools,
00:26but reiterated his desire to see things through.
00:29The 47th U.S. President says that he's hopeful his administration's efforts will yield positive results.
00:35He insisted that he does not feel like he's being played by either party, particularly Russia,
00:41and believes there's a genuine enthusiasm for peace on both ends.
00:45Trump stopped short of fully committing to Washington's permanent backing out.
00:49Questioned by reporters in the Oval Office on whether the U.S. is prepared to completely withdraw from its initiative to end the war,
00:56Trump said, I don't want to say that, adding that he wants to see an end to the fighting.
01:01The U.S. President also declined to share Washington's policy towards Ukraine in the event that a deal is not reached.
01:07By the way, by the way.
