“You know what I suggest? I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal because he could have made many deals and for some reason, he never does,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
Zelensky, meanwhile, has slammed the agreement between the US and Russia, casting the new deal as an “investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged.”
The back-and-forth between the leaders, who have long had a tumultuous relationship, came after Trump said Friday that he secured a deal from his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to supply markets with Russian diesel fuel as he works to bring down energy costs ahead of the midterm elections. Ukraine’s continued refinery attacks were part of what led Trump to strike the deal, according to the US official.
The president went on to slam Zelensky for striking Russian refineries, claiming the Ukrainian president “wants to make problems for the world.”
