President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky “should have never started” the now roughly three-year-long war with Russia.
“I think I have the power to end this war. And I think it’s going very well,” Trump said after three members of his administration met hours earlier with Russian officials about ending the war and other, related matter including potential financial deals.
