Donald Trump could become President of the USA again.
If he were re-elected in November, he would want to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours - but could make things worse.
Update from March 11th, 7:25 a.m
.: Donald Trump has a “very clear vision” of how he could end the Ukraine war – at least that’s what his spiritual friend, Viktor Orbán, claims.
The Hungarian head of government also gave details on the
M1
television channel : Trump will not give “a single cent” for aid to Ukraine, and as a result the war will end by itself.
"If the Americans don't give money, the Europeans will not be able to finance this war alone," the newspaper
Magyar Nemzet
quoted him as saying .
Trump and Orban regularly give public eulogies about each other.
The two right-wing populists have a lot in common politically.
Trump's former chief adviser Bannon once described the Hungarian as "Trump before Trump."
Orban also maintains good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump's plan for the Ukraine war: A peace in Putin's spirit?
First report from March 10th
: Palm Beach - It's been over a year since Donald Trump, former President of the USA, said he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours if he were re-elected in the US elections next November .
What's more, if he had been in office when the war broke out, the war would not have happened anyway.
But the Republican still doesn't answer the all-important question of how he wants to do this.
Trump shared at least one basic idea.
He wants to sit down with the presidents of the warring countries, Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin.
And then?
Ian Bremmer, a foreign policy expert, told Bild that this was nothing but “Trump’s usual, meaningless bravado
.
”
Instead of spreading hope with his statements, the prospect of a US president named Trump is causing unrest in Ukraine.
Trump overestimates his diplomatic skills for negotiating the Ukraine war
Trump considers himself a gifted diplomat, which he also likes to express in his book “The Art of the Deal”.
The ghostwriter of the bestseller has now distanced himself from the book and regrets his work on the work.
How ineffective Trump's negotiating skills really are can best be seen in the meeting with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.

Not only was the correspondence between the two more of an exchange of “tendernesses that teenagers could exchange,” said journalist Bob Woodward, who was able to view an exchange of letters between the two statesmen, to the US broadcaster

.
Kim Jong-un may also have deceived Trump during the June 2018 negotiations.
North Korea may have continued to keep part of its nuclear production secret from the USA.
The negotiations were about an impending nuclear conflict between the USA and North Korea.
In addition, since North Korea's massive support for Russia, it has become clear whose side Kim is really on.
With “Musk Plan” Trump could create a false peace in the Ukraine war
What plan the former US President is now pursuing to bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine can be understood with information from conservative circles, Bild
reported
.
Key points would be circulating there, as Tesla boss and tech billionaire Elon Musk once formulated them.
In order to create peace, Russia should retain control over the annexed Crimean Peninsula and other occupied territories.
In addition, Ukraine is not allowed to join NATO.
Anyone who now feels reminded of Russian President Putin's demands is not entirely wrong.
In a recently published peace offer from Russia to Ukraine, in addition to the curtailment of the Ukrainian military, the two demands for a ceasefire formulated by Musk were also mentioned.
Although Trump has not yet made a clear statement about his stance in the Ukraine war, those around him are largely of the opinion that Kiev cannot win the war against Russia.
Republican members of the Senate are also blocking further war aid for Ukraine.
Will Trump weaken NATO as president?
Zelenskyj sees danger of war in Ukraine
Zelenskyj doesn't think much of Trump's ideas.
It is precisely because of the blockade that he sees Trump's statements as “dangerous,” according to
Bild
.
Maybe that's why he wanted to invite the possible next US president to the front at the Munich Security Conference.
At the international meeting, Zelensky said Trump could get an idea of what a real war is, “not Instagram.”
But Trump's radical statements are not only causing unease in Ukraine.
Because he also announced that under his presidency the USA would only support NATO countries that finance their military with at least two percent of gross domestic product, there is great concern within the alliance.
If a country fails to pay, Trump would even “encourage Putin to do whatever the hell they want,” reported the US news portal
Bloomberg
