U.S. President Donald Trump says he would prefer a diplomatic agreement over military action, stressing that he does not want to, in his words, “kill people.”
Speaking during ongoing discussions on international security issues, Trump said diplomacy remains his administration's preferred approach to resolving disputes and reducing global tensions.
He emphasized that negotiations continue with international partners and expressed hope that dialogue can deliver peaceful solutions to some of the world's most pressing conflicts.
At the same time, Trump made clear that the United States is prepared to maintain pressure if diplomatic efforts fail to produce meaningful results.
The comments come as Washington remains engaged in a series of high-level discussions covering regional security, strategic stability, and broader foreign policy challenges.
Administration officials say diplomatic channels remain active, with talks continuing on several international issues where the United States is seeking negotiated outcomes.
Analysts say Trump's remarks reflect an effort to balance diplomatic engagement with continued strategic pressure, leaving military options available while prioritizing dialogue.
For now, negotiations remain ongoing, with officials expressing cautious optimism that diplomacy can help prevent further escalation and create conditions for longer-term stability.
