‘Had a very good call’: Donald Trump says spoke with Zelensky, pledges to ‘end the war’ – Times of India
US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had a “very good call” on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Trump has asserted that he will end the war in Ukraine before he even takes office in January if he wins the November 5 election. In his Truth Social post, Trump declared that as president, he “will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives.”
“Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity,” Trump said.
Though he has put forward few tangible policy proposals, he told Reuters in an interview last year that Ukraine may have to cede some territory to reach a peace agreement.
During the phone call, Trump said that Zelenskiy congratulated him on becoming the Republican nominee and condemned the assassination attempt against Trump last Saturday.
The nature of the assassination attempt was not detailed in Trump’s post, and further information has not been provided by his campaign or law enforcement officials.
As the election approaches, Trump’s statements on Ukraine and his potential foreign policy strategies will likely continue to be a point of discussion and scrutiny.
