President-elect Donald Trump pledged to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to hold discussions on war and peace in the near future, declaring that ending the conflict was “one of the things I want to do and quickly.”
“President Putin said that he wants to meet with me as soon as possible,” Trump said during Turning Point Action’s AmericaFest speech in Phoenix, Arizona. “So we have to wait for this. But we have to end that war. That war is a horrible, horrible, the soldiers, the number of soldiers being killed.”
He reiterated his stance that Russia under Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he had been president, highlighting his popular hat that proclaims “Trump was right about everything.”
“I saw it yesterday for the first time, and it’s selling like hotcakes: It says, ‘Trump was right about everything,'” Trump said. “And I don’t want to brag, but we were right about just about everything, including foreign policy, these crazy wars that we’re in.”
Additionally, Trump insisted Hamas would not have carried out its attack on Israel on Oct. 7 if he had been in office. “Got to stop it. It’s ridiculous — would have never happened if I was president; that war would have never happened, and Oct. 7, Israel would have never happened either,” Trump said. “So much of our country would be so different and the world would be so different. But it’s not. So we have to make it great, and we’re going to make it great. We’re going to do it as quickly as we can.”
