Trump won’t change position on Ukraine war

WASHINGTON - Meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy for the first time in five years, former President Donald Trump Friday said if re-elected, he would work to end the Russia-Ukraine war with a deal “that’s good for both sides."

"We’re going to work very much with both parties to try and get this settled and get it worked out," Trump said, standing next to Zelenskyy while speaking to a small group of reporters ahead of their closed-door meeting. "It has to end. At some point, it has to end. He’s gone through hell. His country has gone through hell."

Trump said the two leaders "have a very good relationship, and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin." Zelenskyy added that he hoped they would continue to have a good relationship.
"It takes two to tango, and we will," Trump responded.

After their meeting, Trump told Fox News that he had not changed his position on the war. "We both want to see this end, we both want to see a fair deal made," he said.
