President Donald Trump dismisses Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s suggestion that the U.S. could capture Vladimir Putin, saying it’s not necessary.
President Donald Trump pushed back on suggestions from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the United States could capture Russian President Vladimir Putin after Zelensky pointed to Washington’s recent action against Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Trump waved off the idea of such an operation, while venting frustration over the grinding war and his failure so far to bring it to an end. Trump has repeatedly said on the campaign trail that he could end the war on his first day back in office, but despite meetings with both Zelenskyy and Putin, a resolution remains elusive.
« Well, I don’t think it’s going to be necessary », Trump said in response to a question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy during a meeting with US oil companies executives at the White House Friday.
