But now that he is (almost) officially back in power, Donald Trump is being more cautious. He thus declared that “six months“would be a good, and more realistic, objective to end the conflict. For his part, special envoy for the war in Ukraine designated by the (future) president, Keith Kellogg estimates that 100 days will be necessary.”I would like to set a personal and professional goal – I would set it at 100 days and I would see it through to the end. And find a way to do it in the short term, to ensure that the solution is strong and lasting and that this war ends so that we stop the carnage” Kellogg tells Fox News.

The situation has since deteriorated significantly in the country. If the withdrawal of troops took place in 2021 under the mandate of Joe Biden, it was when the Republican was in charge that the Doha agreements were signed, putting an end to twenty years of occupation.
