Trump takes a jab at Putin
"This is 'sleepy' Joe Biden's war, not mine," Trump stated. "It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time," he pointed out.
Trump also criticised Vladimir Putin and Russia. "With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through "Banking" or "Secondary Sanctions?,'" he pointed out.
"Too many people are dying!!!" Trump emphasised once again.
On Saturday in Vatican City, President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Donald Trump at St. Peter's Basilica. The leaders, sitting on chairs face to face, talked with each other for about 15 minutes. This was the first meeting since the incident that occurred at the White House at the end of February 2025.
