Trump blamed Zelenski again. "He doesn't want to stop the war"

US President Donald Trump answered questions from members of the press as he left the White House for his visit to Kansas to meet with Republican voters before the midterm elections.

Trump said, "We are in negotiations with Putin regarding Ukraine. I do not want to interrupt this process while we are in the middle of negotiations. By the way, I have the right to do this at any time, immediately. If things do not go well, I can always do this." he said.

TRUMP, PUTIN, SI MEETING

US President Trump announced that he is willing to hold a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China. In response to a question on the subject, Trump said, "I would do that. Not so much for Ukraine, because, to be frank, Russia has been good about Ukraine and has not done much. The same goes for China. This meeting is held to talk about nuclear weapons and nuclear disarmament. If a meeting on the basis of nuclear disarmament can be planned and held, it would be a very positive thing for the world. So, if they want to do it, I will attend. I just heard about it. If they want to hold such a meeting, I think it will be held in China." he said.

Asked whether he was investigating who ordered the interruption of the Starlink satellite service provided to Ukraine, Trump replied, "I don't know, but I would like to find out."

Asked to comment on Ukrainian President Zelenski's statement that the USA supports Putin by granting exemptions from sanctions, Trump said: "I support stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine." he said.

“ZELENSKY DOES NOT WANT TO STOP THE WAR”

Trump stated that Zelenski was not very helpful in ending the Russia-Ukraine War and said, "I think he doesn't want to stop it." "I don't want people to die. They probably lose 25,000 to 35,000 soldiers on average every month. I don't care about other things. I want the war to stop. All I want is for Russia and Ukraine to stop this stupid war." he said.

Asked whether he was ready to discuss ending the war with Chinese President Xi and Russian President Putin without Ukrainian leader Zelenski being there, Trump said, "I will meet to end the war. Whether someone is there or not, I will do everything I can to end the war. They want to hold a meeting upon my suggestion. Because I will be in China in November. The topic is nuclear disarmament. If we can achieve nuclear disarmament, I will do a very, very big favor to the world." he said.

“ZELENSKY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS SAYING”

To a question about Zelenski accusing him of being "on the wrong side of history", Trump replied, "Zelenski doesn't know what he's talking about. Zelenski should have resolved this war a long time ago. If he had listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago and a million people on his side would have been alive."

“SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD CONDUCT THE TALKS ON BEHALF OF UKRAINE”

Emphasizing that Ukraine has lost too many people and that the country's male population has disappeared, US President Donald Trump said, "It is now time for someone else to conduct the negotiations on behalf of Ukraine." he said.

Trump said, "Ukraine could have resolved this issue a long time ago. If it had listened to me, you remember the Oval Office. It would have resolved this issue a long time ago. Maybe it's time for Zelensky to assign someone else to negotiate." he said.

Asked about intelligence sharing with Ukraine, Trump said, "Yes, we share intelligence. We share a lot. We gave a lot to Ukraine. They gave us nothing." He replied with:

Asked about his statements that Russia could have done much more to help Iran if it wanted, Trump said: "Yes, Russia could have done much more. I could have done much more to help. Russia did very little for Iran. China could have done much more for Iran. I do not forget these and see them positively." he said.
