“I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump told reporters at a briefing. “I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. Because he could make many deals, but for some reason, he never does.”
According to Donald Trump, he had told Volodymyr Zelensky "many times" that he "can do whatever he wants with Russia," except for striking oil refineries. However, the American president asserts, the Ukrainian leader "wants to create problems for the whole world."
Trump accused Zelensky of "wanting to create problems" for American farmers by striking Russian oil refineries.
