“I canceled the meeting with ⁤Putin, we wouldn’t have gotten where I wanted to get to,” Donald Trump said this in a bilateral meeting with the secretary general of ‌NATO in the Oval Office. “I will meet him in the future,”​ he added. “I thought it was the right time‌ for new sanctions against Russia.” “Putin ‌and Zelensky want peace,” ⁢he reiterated. “It takes a year to‍ learn how to use Tomahawks. ‍Ukrainians can’t do it.” Donald Trump said it. “The ‌only way a‌ Tomahawk can be⁤ shot is⁤ if we shoot it and⁣ we don’t ⁤intend⁢ to,” ⁢Trump explained while ⁤speaking in the Oval‍ Office with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
