US President Donald Trump, at a press conference held at the White House, said, "In the next 2 weeks, we will see where the Russia-Ukraine War is going or where I am going. I can go either way."
US President Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office regarding the 2026 World Cup. Responding to questions from reporters, Trump answered whether he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a US factory being targeted in a Russian airstrike in Ukraine.
"WE WILL SEE WHERE THE WAR IS GOING IN TWO WEEKS"
In his response, Trump said, "I am not happy about this, I am not happy about anything related to that war. I said I solved seven wars. In fact, if you think about the pre-war periods, add three more. So that makes 10. But this war is different. There is a lot of anger, a lot of hatred. There is tremendous hatred there. Let's see what happens. I think in 2 weeks we will see where the war is going or where I am going. I can go either way," he replied.
"I SOLVED A PROBLEM THAT COULD TURN INTO NUCLEAR WAR, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT"
Regarding the question of whether he would give Putin a deadline, Trump pointed to Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, saying, "Look, tango is done by two people. You understand that I want to have a meeting with those two. Maybe nothing will come out of it, maybe something will, but we will see. People continue to die. I solved three wars that lasted over 30 years, and I also solved a problem that could turn into a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. But this is different," he stated.
"BIG SANCTIONS OR TARIFFS MAY COME UP"
Trump emphasized that the decision he would make in 2 weeks could change the direction of the war, saying, "At the end of two weeks, there are two paths: either big sanctions or big tariffs. Maybe both. Or we will do nothing and say this is your war. Look, if I had been president when the war broke out, this war would never have happened. This war happened because of stupid people. This issue was never brought up for 4 years. Because Putin knew very well that we would never accept this," he expressed.
Trump also pointed out the impact of the war on young soldiers, saying, "Every day 5 to 7 young kids are dying. Think about it, you are a parent, your son leaves home and gets shot in the head within a week. I love stopping wars. People expected the opposite, but I am getting everyone out of war," he said.
