Leavitt said that negotiations are ongoing, and the US could send its representative to these talks this weekend "if there is a real chance of signing a peace agreement."
But she added that "it is still unknown whether true peace can be achieved."
Trump took office in January, suggesting he could quickly resolve Russia's war in Ukraine, but for months he bitterly complained about the lack of progress. Leavitt said the president was "extremely disappointed with both sides of this war."
"And he's tired of meetings just for the sake of meetings," Leavitt said. "He doesn't want any more talk. He wants action."
Recall
About a dozen heads of state and government from Europe will meet in Berlin on Monday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are expected to be among those present.
