After Putin call, Trump says Russia and Ukraine to negotiate ceasefire ‘immediately’
“Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump posted on social media following his two-hour call with Russia’s leader on Monday.
Trump described their conversation as “excellent”.
“Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic ‘bloodbath’ is over, and I agree,” the US president added.
“There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on Trade, in the process of rebuilding its Country.”
