Former US President Donald Trump recently said he plans to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin to help end the war in Ukraine. Trump mentioned that on the same day he heard Putin say Russia is open to discussions on many topics, including the war.
Trump shared that he has talked many times with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who wants peace and an end to the fighting. Trump believes both Zelensky and Putin want to stop the war, calling it a “shame” that it started in the first place.
In previous statements, Trump has claimed that if he were still in office, he could have prevented the conflict. Putin, in a recent interview, welcomed the chance to talk with Trump and suggested they meet.
When asked about his first overseas visit as a potential future president, Trump said it could be either Saudi Arabia or the UK. He explained that he usually visits the UK, but last time he went to Saudi Arabia because they planned to buy a large amount of American products, including military and farming equipment.
Trump stated he will be having a call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer soon and spoke positively about him, despite their different political views. He believes Starmer has done a great job.
In a conversation with the Saudi crown prince, Trump discussed lowering oil prices. He criticized current President Biden for allowing oil prices to rise, which he argues helped Russia decide to go to war. Trump said that if oil prices drop, it could lead to an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
