Trump Claims Ukraine Plan ‘Not My Final Offer’ After EU Leaders Warn It Needs Revision

Donald Trump stated that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has significant concerns over U.S. proposals, does not accept them, “then he can continue to fight his little heart out.” Trump had given Kyiv a deadline of Thanksgiving to agree. European allies held urgent talks after the plan’s details emerged, wary it might be another U.S. ultimatum allegedly formed without consulting Europe or Ukraine. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio distanced himself from rumors, stressing that the proposal, crafted by the U.S., integrated Ukraine’s inputs. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk questioned the plan’s origin, seeking clarity on its authorship. European Council President António Costa welcomed U.S. peace efforts but insisted Trump’s proposal needed more work. An anonymous EU official stated the U.S. draft includes key elements for lasting peace but requires further refinement. Negotiations are planned with Costa’s chief of staff, Pedro Lourtie, and top European Commission official Bjoern Seibert involved. The EU reaffirmed support for Ukraine, though Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán backed the plan criticized for favoring Russia. Privately, diplomats noted the White House’s erratic messages, as Trump has alternated between threatening aid withdrawal and imposing sanctions on Russia, yet support for Ukraine persists.

    Seems like the U.S. is pulling a classic “take it or leave it” with Ukraine—how charming! I suppose Zelenskyy can just bake a turkey for Thanksgiving while he’s at it. 🦃🍷

    Honestly, if I had a euro for every time Trump promised a “final offer” that wasn’t, I’d be sipping espresso on the Amalfi coast right now. ☕️🇪🇺 But hey, at least Zelenskyy can keep his cardio up fighting for his life while the rest of us negotiate over a pint, right? 🍺

    A classic case of “take it or leave it,” isn’t it? Maybe if Zelenskyy sweetens the deal with a plate of pierogi, Trump will reconsider—until Thanksgiving, of course! 😏🦃
