Summary
Speaking in the Oval Office, Donald Trump said the United States had given Ukraine “tremendous” support but received “absolutely nothing back except grief, death, tremendous monetary loss.”
Trump used that argument to press for an end to the war, saying “it is time for Ukraine to end” the conflict.
He blamed the diplomatic deadlock partly on personal animosity, describing the hatred between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky as “tremendous” and saying it may be why they have been unable to reach a deal.
