Trump, while talking to reporters, again repeated that under him, the war of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation against Ukraine would never have started and that it should have been resolved earlier.
Without mentioning the name of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, he recalled their scandalous meeting in the White House at the end of February.
“You know, when I was in this office and talked about the lack of “cards” … I said: “You have no cards.” That’s when they had to negotiate. I think this would have been a much better time for agreements, but their “wisdom” decided not to do it. They have a lot of factors against them now,” Trump said.
He once again emphasized that yesterday the American delegation had a “very good meeting” with Putin.
“I can’t tell you what came out of this meeting, because it takes two to tango. You know, Ukraine… I think we did something good with them. They’re very pleased, given the circumstances,” Trump said.
