"Who is doing a better job negotiating, President Zelensky or President Putin? I think they're both doing a great job in that sense. We have to get it done. We've got to take some of the hatred of each other. You know, they don't like each other, I say that in front of President Zelensky, but I say it in front President Putin, too. They have tremendous bad blood, replied Trump."
"It really is what is holding up, I think, a settlement. I think we're going to get done, and we have to make it long-lasting, as I said in the Middle East, everlasting, right? Everlasting. And the Middle East is a much more complicated situation. You know, we had 59 countries involved, and every one of them agreed. And it's, you know, it's sort of amazing. Most people didn't think that was doable."
Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump, in the presence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which leader was negotiating better: Zelensky or Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump replied that both were doing a great job and emphasized the need to reduce mutual hatred and bad blood between them. He said that that animosity was delaying a settlement but expressed confidence that a durable agreement could be achieved. He compared the effort to Middle East diplomacy involving 59 countries, noting its complexity and surprising consensus. He added that he had spoken with President Putin and believed Putin wanted to resolve the conflict.
