President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr and many European leaders on Monday as a way to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine.
This morning, Trump told Fox & Friends that he will not put American troops in Ukraine.
“You have my assurance,” Trump stressed. “I’m the president, and I’m just trying to stop people from being killed.
Trump reiterated that both sides lose thousands of people every day.
Trump also said he arranged a meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He will not attend this meeting:
No, I thought I at first, let him, let them meet. You know, they haven’t been exactly best friends. They haven’t gotten along very well. And I called President Putin yesterday, and I do have a good relationship, but it, you know, only matters if we get things done. Otherwise, I don’t care about the relationship. I do have a good relationship with him, but I want to get things done.You know, I’ve gotten I’ve solved seven wars. We ended seven wars. I thought this would be one of the easier ones, and this is turned out to be the toughest one. India, Pakistan, I mean, those these were big ones, and also all big ones, and some going for 3132 years, one for 35 years, the Congo. Think of that, the Congo and Rwanda for 35 years. I got that one done. I got them all done.But this one is the one that is the most difficult. And I thought it would be an easy one.So I hope President Putin is going to be good, and if he’s not, it’s going to be a rough situation, and I hope that Zelenskyy, President Zelenskyy, will do what he has to do. He has to show some flexibility.Also, the thing is a mess. This was started by Joe Biden. This was a war that should have never happened. Millions of people are dead. The country has blown to pieces, Ukraine, and it’s a it’s a shame.
Trump truly hates war. He wants to end all the wars. Apparently, one of the European leaders said yesterday that they should meet again in a month or two:
One of the things at the table was one of the gentlemen, who’s a great guy, but he said, I hope I didn’t insult him. He said, “Well, let’s meet in another month or two, and let’s see if we can start, you know, making some sense.” I said, “A MONTH OR TWO!? You’re going to have another 40,000 people dead in a month or two — you have to do it TONIGHT.”And I did, actually, I called President Putin, and we’re trying to work out a meeting with President Zelenskyy. We’ll see what happens there, and then, if that works out, if it works out, then I’ll go to the trilateral and close it up.
So if the meeting goes well, Trump would attend a second meeting with Putin and Zelenskyy:
We had a very good call, and I told him that we’re going to set up a meeting with President Zelenskyy, and you and he will meet, and then after that meeting, if everything works out, okay, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll meet, and we’ll wrap it up.But you know, it takes, in this case, two to tango. They have to have somewhat of a relationship, otherwise, we’re just wasting a lot of time. I don’t want to be doing that for I just want to end it. I want to end it.You know, we’re not losing American lives. We’re not losing American soldiers. We’re losing Russians and Ukrainians, mostly soldiers. Some people as missiles hit wrong spots or get lobbed into cities like Kiev and towns.
Trump also repeated that Ukraine will not join NATO. I know the left will jump on these statements, leaving out the fact that NATO and the EU have never even cracked the door open for Ukraine.
The EU and NATO know they would feel Russia’s wrath if Ukraine joins either organization.
