Speaking to the media before the cabinet meeting in Washington, he said that this conflict is a very difficult situation and it will not be easy to resolve it. Trump claimed that he has solved the first eight wars and this could be the ninth, to end which his team is currently negotiating in Russia.

The situation is very messy.” This comment of Trump has come at a time when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is on a visit to Ireland.
