UKRAINE/RUSSIA: “Months after claiming he could end Russia’s war on Ukraine in 24 hours, former president Donald Trump has finally offered an explanation for why he thinks it’d be so simple for him…
‘I know Zelensky very well, I know Putin very well—even better—and I had a very good relationship with both of them,’ he said.
He said he would tell Mr Zelensky: ‘No more, you gotta make a deal,’ and Mr Putin: ‘If you don’t make a deal, we’re gonna give them a lot. We’re gonna give more than they ever got.’”
