UnfulfilledUkraineSecond Presidential Campaign (2024)
End the war in Ukraine within 24 hours
The original promise
Repeated pledge to settle the Russia-Ukraine war within a day of taking office, later described as figurative.
Promised May 10, 2023 · Russian invasion of Ukraine
Why this status
The war did not end within 24 hours of the January 20, 2025 inauguration. Negotiation efforts continued well past that window; Trump later said the phrase was made in jest as an exaggeration.
