Nixon or his aides for the benefit of Nixon seem to have delayed any Vietnam peace settlement to keep this as an issue to help his election. Such as handwritten notes from Nixon aide H.R. Haldeman, that record instructions to use intermediaries (notably Anna Chennault) to persuade the South Vietnamese government to delay reaching a ceasefire. The Vietnam delegation did indeed withdraw from these talks.
Trump desperately wants a Noble Peace prize, he has banged on about this in the past on an number of occasions.
He might even consider 'Trump Gaza' will get him a second one later.
So it would not be beyond Trump and GOP to make sure that any peace is negotiated with Trump, to benefit of Trump.
Trump wants wealth, power, accolades, and Putin can give him that if Putin gets what he wants.
Suits Putin as he builds up for summer campaign, with full backing of North Korea, Iran, with a side serving of dual use materials and tech from China, while US support is on drip feed.

Donald in Fantasy Land …
Trump arriving in Doha, Qatar
The NY Times - For Trump, Adulation and No Risk of Protests Made the Gulf a Dream Trip
17 May 2025
At every step of Mr. Trump’s whirlwind tour of the Middle East, he was treated with the kind of honor and respect he has long desired.
Escorts of fighter jets. Extravagant welcoming ceremonies. Red and lavender carpets. Arabian horses. Glitzy chandeliers. Camels. Sword dancers. White marble palaces. In the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, lit up with an image of the American flag.
All in his honor. …
“The last four days have been really amazing,” Mr. Trump said on Thursday, as he was leaving a palace in Abu Dhabi, where he had just been feted.
He added, looking rueful, “Probably going back to Washington, D.C., tomorrow.”

The NY Times Magazine - ‘Gimme’: A Word That Explains the President’s Worldview
17 May 2025
The term helps explain why he sees little difference between accepting a putt and accepting a plane.
“When they give you a putt, you pick it up and walk to the next hole and say, ‘Thank you very much.’”
That was President Trump using a golf analogy to explain why he planned to accept the gift of an airplane from Qatar to use as a new, more luxurious Air Force One. ...
To do otherwise, he said, would be “stupid.” After all, you could take the putt and miss completely. The president has gone enough rounds to know that if an offer is made, take it while the taking is good. Who knows what might happen on the next hole?
This is how the Gentleman’s Game is played on Trump’s back nine. Gifts are given, favors bestowed.
The rules are whatever the guy who owns the club decides they are.
