Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with former US President Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York. Trump described the Russia-Ukraine war as a dispute that both sides want to end, suggesting a 'fair deal' could be reached if he returns to the White House.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wore a grim expression as he stood next to former us president Donald Trump . The two leaders appeared briefly before their meeting in Trump Tower, their first in five years.
“I’ve been saying that I believe if I win, we’re going to have a very fair, and I think, actually rather rapid deal,” Trump said. The war, he added, “should stop, and the president wants it to stop. I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop. And that’s a good combination. So we want to have a fair deal for everybody.”
“My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” Zelensky said in that interview. “With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it, the less you understand.”The comments to the magazine infuriated the Trump team so much that the Trump Tower meeting almost didn’t happen.As he stood alongside Trump in New York, Zelensky was diplomatic but struggled to make clear where he thought the blame resided.
The last time they were together, in September 2019, Trump was in the middle of a scandal – one of the biggest of his presidency – over a phone call he had made to Zelensky in which he pressured the Ukrainian leader to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden.
