US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he claimed during the election campaign that he could resolve the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours, but his statement was “a little satirical”. The statement related to Trump was questioned which he had repeated several times during the election campaign. During an interview for the ‘Full Major’ television program, he was asked that his administration has taken power, but the war has not been resolved yet.
In the clip released before the program to be aired on Sunday, Trump said, “When I said this, I was a little satirical.” I mean I wanted to end this war and I think I will succeed. ”Trump’s statement is considered a rare confession because he is often known for exaggerating. On May 2023 at the CNN Town Hall, Trump said, “Russian and Ukrainians are dying. I want all this to stop and I will close it in 24 hours. ”
During the September debate with the then Vice President Kamla Harris, Trump again reiterated, “If I win, I will talk to the two sides and bring them together.” Meanwhile, Trump’s special messenger Steve Witchoff arrived at Moscow this week to discuss the ceasefire proposed by the US. In the interview, Trump was asked that if Putin is not ready for the ceasefire, then what will be his plan? In response, Trump said, “It will be bad news for the world because many people are being killed.” But I think he will agree. I know them well and I believe he will agree.
