Trump says ‘fake news’ wants Ukraine peace talks to fail

"I am totally convinced that if Russia raised their hands and said, 'We give up, we concede, we surrender, we will GIVE Ukraine and the great United States of America, the most revered, respected, and powerful of all countries, EVER, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and everything surrounding them for a thousand miles, the Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners would say that this was a bad and humiliating day for Donald J. Trump, one of the worst days in the history of our Country.” But that’s why they are the FAKE NEWS, and the badly failing Radical Left Democrats. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!"

Attending Monday’s meeting alongside Zelensky are French President Emmanuel Macron, UK PM Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump would like to host a meeting with Zelensky and Putin as soon as Friday.

Trump called his meeting with Putin "productive," and said that the two leaders had agreed on "many, many points," however, there were "a couple of big ones that we haven’t quite gotten there, but we’ve made some headway."

"So there’s no deal until there’s a deal," Trump said. "I will call up NATO in a little while, I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate, and, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell them about today’s meeting. It’s ultimately up to them."
