Description
As he departed the White House for Mar-a-Lago Friday evening, President Donald Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "overplayed his hand" during the contentious Oval Office meeting earlier in the day.
Speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn, Trump said he wants an “immediate” ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and warned Zelenskyy to make peace or lose U.S. support.
Trump continued his pressure on the Ukrainian leader in comments to reporters before he left the White House for his home in Florida.
“I want it to end immediately,” Trump said. “I want a ceasefire now.”
He repeated his earlier comments that Ukraine has a weak hand, saying “you can’t embolden somebody that doesn’t have the cards.” Without U.S. support, he said, Ukraine will lose.
“You saw what I saw today,” Trump said. “This is a man that wants to get us signed up and keep fighting. We’re not doing that.”
