After repeatedly claiming that he could end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours if elected US president again in 2024, former commander-in-chief Donald Trump has outlined his plan for bringing about a negotiated peace agreement.

Trump, currently the leading candidate for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination, argued that he has enough influence with Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine to stop the bloodshed. With the right prodding from the White House, the two leaders would see no point in continuing the conflict, he said on Sunday in a Fox News interview.

"I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better," Trump told Fox host Maria Bartiromo. "And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them. I would tell Zelensky, no more, you got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot. We're going to give them more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day – one day."
