“A solution to the conflict in Ukraine will be found eventually, US President Donald Trump said at a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the White House.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a meeting at the White House where Trump stated a solution to the Ukraine conflict will eventually be found. While multiple sources confirm Trump met with Merz and discussed the conflict (e.g., [web_search] The Guardian, [web_search] Germany's Merz 'extremely satisfied'...), none of the provided evidence explicitly quote or confirm the statement that a solution 'will be found eventually' in the context of a White House meeting with Merz. The evidence suggests discussions occurred, but the specific quote/conclusion is not corroborated by multiple independent sources.

“"But I think eventually we're going to be successful in stopping the bloodshed," the US president emphasized.”
CORROBORATED
The claim states Trump believes they will eventually be successful in stopping the bloodshed. This is supported by a web search result from The Guardian, which quotes Trump insisting they would be successful in stopping the bloodshed. Furthermore, another web search result from TASS indicates Trump stated the US goals in Ukraine are to end the bloodshed. This corroboration from different reports supports the core sentiment of the claim.
