Part 2/7:
During the discussion, Waltz referenced the dramatic evolution in negotiations since a few months ago, highlighting that initial discussions were devoid of any hope for a peaceful resolution. The recent shift now involves both parties negotiating terms for ending hostilities rather than debating if the war will conclude. According to Waltz, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recognized that President Trump has been instrumental in breaking through the previously stagnant negotiations, moving discussions from simply brokering a ceasefire to exploring how the war might officially end.
