Trump uses a strategy of playing both the good cop and the bad cop to fulfill his promise of ending the Ukraine war.
Former President Donald Trump’s Bold Claim on Ending Russia’s War in Ukraine
Former President Donald Trump has been making a bold statement for months - if he were to return to the White House, he believes he could put an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine in just one day.
While he has mentioned this idea a few times, Trump and his campaign have been reluctant to provide specific details on how he would achieve such a feat. However, he did offer some insights into his approach during a recent interview.
“I know [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky very well. I felt he was very honorable because when they asked him about the perfect phone call that I made, he said it was indeed, he said it was. He didn’t even know what they were talking about. He could have grandstanded,” Trump said on Fox News.
The host, Maria Bartiromo, interrupted, saying, “That’s not going to be enough for Putin to stop bombing.”
“I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them. I would tell Zelensky, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to [give Ukraine] more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day,” Trump responded.
Trump did not provide further details on the specific weapons he would potentially provide to Ukraine, or whether he would follow through on his threat to give them more aid than before. It is worth noting that the United States has already provided over $40 billion in military aid since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly 18 months ago.
The war in Ukraine has become a divisive issue among GOP presidential candidates. Some, like former Vice President Mike Pence, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), have expressed their support for Ukraine. However, there is another group, including Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have voiced skepticism about continuing aid to Ukraine.
