Trump Says Putin Wants Ukraine Conflict Resolved
The two leaders discussed Ukraine during an extensive phone conversation last month, as well as the possibility of holding another face-to-face meeting soon.
“President Putin, I spoke to him two weeks ago, and he said… ‘We’ve been trying to settle that war for ten years. We weren’t able to do it, you got to settle,’” Trump told attendees at the America Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday.
“I got some of these things settled in an hour,” the US president continued, referencing various international disputes he claims to have resolved since assuming office in January.
According to reports, Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky was reportedly taken by surprise by the call and visited the White House the following day to request US-made Tomahawk missiles, aiming to strengthen Kiev’s long-range strike capacity against Russia.
Trump, however, emphasized this week that he is “not really” considering supplying Tomahawks, suggesting instead that Kiev and Moscow should be allowed to “fight out” the conflict on their own.
