YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump pushed back Tuesday against Ukraine's objections to being excluded from talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia aimed at ending the war in eastern Ukraine.
He also seemed to suggest that Ukraine was to blame for a war that began only after Russia invaded that country.
Speaking to reporters from his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump said, "Today I heard, well, we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should have never started it."
Trump didn't mention that Russia has also failed to end the war it began when it invaded its neighbor.
"A half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without the loss of much land, very little land, without the loss of any lives," Trump said, echoing his frequent claim that he could have prevented the Russian invasion.
Trump said he thought he had a “good chance” to end Russia’s war in Ukraine but bristled at suggestions that the U.S. and Russia had begun negotiations to end fighting occurring without Ukraine playing a role.
