Trump has told Laura Ingraham, in an interview to be broadcast on Fox at 7pm ET (11pm GMT), that he thinks he had “a great call” with Putin.
“It lasted almost two hours,” he said in remarks released before the broadcast. “Talked about a lot of things, and toward getting it to peace. And we talked about other things also.”
Ingraham pointed out that Trump failed to secure the hoped-for 30 day ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to last week. “Well, you have a situation where you have a lot of guns pointing at each other, foolishly, because it would have never happened if I were president. That was not a war that was supposed to happen. And it did happen. So, that’s where we are.
