Former US President Donald Trump has proposed to end the continuing war in “one day” if he is elected to power. Trump said that he would get a deal done between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump said that he had solid ties with both Zelenskyy and Putin while claiming current President Biden is “not capable” of interacting with foreign leaders.
Trump said, “These are smart people, including Macron of France. I could go through the whole list of people, including Putin. These people are sharp, tough, and generally vicious. They’re vicious, and they’re at the top of their game. We have a man that has no clue what’s happening. It’s the most dangerous time in the history of our country.’
He added, “I know Zelenskyy very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them. I would tell Zelenskyy, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we are going to give him a lot. We are going to [give Ukraine] more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day.”
Over 500 days have passed since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on February 24, 2022, when Moscow began its full-scale invasion of Kyiv.
