📰 CNN reacted to a recent interview with U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he claimed that his promise to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours was just “a joke.” However, the media noted that it’s hard to consider it a joke when he has repeated this promise at least 53 times.

🗣️ Trump explained his statement about ending the war in 24 hours in an interview with Time this week: “I said it figuratively, as an exaggeration, to emphasize… People understood that it was a joke, but it was also said that this would be stopped.” However, CNN doubts the truth of such claims, pointing to numerous instances where Trump seriously promised to end the war.
📊 According to CNN, during 2023-2024, Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours after returning to the White House, and this sounded quite serious. Journalists found at least 53 similar statements using the Roll Call Factba.se database.
📅 He likely first made this promise at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland on March 4, 2023, where he said, “I’ll solve this problem quickly. It will take no more than one day.” Trump continued to repeat this promise at rallies, interviews, and during debates.
🔴 The last time he made such a statement was on October 17, 2024, at a charity dinner in New York, noting that he would resolve the issue before taking office. Trump even mocked critics of his promise, assuring that it was all possible.
