US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that he thinks his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, “is very serious” about peace, adding that too many people were dying in Moscow’s war with Ukraine.
Trump’s remarks came as he welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida for a meeting aimed at sealing a deal to end the almost four-year-long war. The two leaders stood outside the Mar-a-Lago resort and addressed reporters as they prepared to discuss a new proposal aimed at ending the conflict.
Asked if he thought Putin was serious about peace, Trump responded,” I do, I do. I think he is. I think they both are.”
“Gotta make a deal. Gotta get it done, too many people dying and I think both Presidents want to make a deal,” Trump said, while standing with Zelensky.
