Details: Trump added that he himself had done the same for many years in business.
“I’ve done it over the years, you know; I don’t want to sign a contract, I want to sort of stay in the game, but maybe I don’t want to do it, quite… I’m not sure. But no, I think Russia would like to see it end, and I think [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy would like to see it end at this point,” he said.
Trump noted that both sides are losing an average of 2,500 soldiers killed and wounded per week.
“They’re not Americans but it doesn’t matter to me, from that standpoint. I see the pictures of the battlefields; I’d rather not even see them. We have arms and legs and heads all over the field. The weaponry is ridiculous. It’s a big drone deal now… And I just want to see it stop,” he reiterated.
