Trump lays out negotiation plan for Ukraine, Russia: ‘deal done in one day’

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (FLV) – Former President Donald Trump outlined his potential strategy for ending the war in Ukraine during an interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, which aired on Sunday.

When asked how he would achieve a peace deal in just 24 hours, Trump said he knows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin “very well” and would sit down with both of them to make a deal.

“I would tell Zelensky, ‘no more, you gotta make a deal,'” Trump said. “I would tell Putin, ‘if you don’t make a deal we’re gonna give them a lot. We’re gonna give them more than they ever got, if we have to.'”

Trump then repeated his pledge to have the war ended quickly in “24 hours.”

“I will have the deal done in one day,” Trump added. “One day.”

Trump has repeatedly condemned President Joe Biden’s handling of the war in Ukraine.

The former President recently called Biden’s decision to send controversial cluster bombs to Ukraine “insanity.”

He also dubbed Biden’s mobilization of 3,000 reserve forces to Europe a “calamitous policy.”

“Joe Biden’s decision to mobilize reserve forces proves that his reckless escalation in Ukraine is straining the U.S. military to the point of disaster,” Trump said.
