After Putin call, Trump suggests Ukraine, Russia should 'fight for a while'
Briefly

President Trump’s recent phone call with Vladimir Putin has prompted concern due to Trump's remarks suggesting that retaliation by Russia was inevitable. This marks a shift from his previous stance criticizing Putin for civilian attacks. Trump disclosed that he advised Putin against retaliation but likened the conflict to children squabbling, suggesting it might be better to allow the fighting to continue. Additionally, political experts interpreted the conversation as a potential trade-off involving Ukraine and negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program, with upcoming Putin trips to Iran in the works, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.
President Trump’s comments following his call with Putin suggest an inclining acceptance of Russia’s military actions, without addressing the urgent need to protect civilian lives.
Trump likened the ongoing conflict to two children bickering, implying that sometimes it’s better to let disputes play out rather than interfere directly.
