Now that he is over 100 days into his second term, the president in recent weeks has expressed growing dissatisfaction that he hasn't been able to deliver on his promise to end the war in Ukraine and has even taken to wondering if Russian President Vladimir Putin has been stringing him along.

According to the Journal's Josh Dawsey and Alexander Ward, "Trump spoke to a room of top donors at his Florida club last week, he described ending Russia’s war in Ukraine as a growing frustration that keeps him up at night, people in the room said," with the Journal report adding, "As he passes the 100-day mark of his second term with neither conflict closer to a resolution, negotiations to end Iran’s nuclear program stalled, and a trade war straining relationships with allies, Trump is finding solving the world’s problems more difficult than he had thought."
