Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with reporters Thursday and set the bar low for talks between Russia and Ukraine.

"At this point, I think it's abundantly clear that the only way we're going to have a breakthrough here is between President Trump and President Putin," he said.

Rubio did not give specifics about when such a meeting would take place.

He again sent mixed messages about how committed the Trump administration was to pressing on with the negotiations.

Rubio also announced that he would meet again Friday with the Ukrainian foreign minister and the delegation that travelled to the country for talks with Russia, while a lower-level U.S. official would meet with the Russian delegation.

Trump told reporters that the last four days have been amazing, thanking members of his team -- naming Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent -- for joining him on his four-day visit to the Middle East.

The president will now head to a banquet dinner with UAE leaders.

In a bilateral meeting, Trump shared what he viewed as his biggest achievements in his first few months in office -- including grocery prices, inflation and military enlistment numbers.

Trump also pledged to continue the partnership with UAE, a key ally, saying "we are going to be your friend and partner."

"We are going to treat you, as you should be, magnificently," Trump said.

The president also heaped praise onto Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE.

"You are a great warrior. A very strong man, brilliant man, a man with vision like few others, few others. And highly respected," Trump said.

After Trump's remarks, three uniformed military members marched in with a large piece of jewelry -- a pure gold necklace, which is called the Order of Zayed, the highest civilian honor. It is named after the leader who forged the Emirati union whose portrait was displayed behind them during the meeting.
