US President Donald Trump said he would not be able to convince Russian dictator Vladimir Putin not to shell civilians during a meeting with him in Alaska. Instead, he wants to end the war, writes UNN with reference to Reuters.
I had that conversation with him. I had many positive conversations. Then I come home and I see a missile hit a nursing home or an apartment building, and people are lying dead in the street.
The White House chief emphasized that he would most likely not convince Putin to stop striking civilians, but hoped to end the war.
So, I guess the answer to that question is no, because I had that conversation. I want to end the war.
