Donald Trump cannot be trusted to successfully negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, a poll of Telegraph readers has revealed.

Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to resolve the war within 24 hours of taking office. However, his approach — including suspending all US military aid to Ukraine and publicly undermining Volodymyr Zelensky—has left Telegraph readers questioning his intentions.

The president held a two-hour phone call with Vladimir Putin, his Russian counterpart, on March 19, after which the White House announced that the two had agreed on “an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on the implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea”.

However, hours after the call Russian forces continued their attacks on Ukraine, prompting readers to ask whether Trump has forgotten the art of how to make a deal.

Asked if they believe the president can successfully broker peace, 78 per cent of more than 12,000 respondents voted no.

Here is what you had to say.
