Rubio said that if things don’t move forward in the next few days, the US needs to “move on,” and Trump said that if “one of the two parties makes it very difficult,” the US would “take a pass.” However, President Trump noted that he still thought there was a good chance of a deal coming together. The administration did not clarify what, if any, support the US would continue to give Ukraine if talks fail.
