"I think they're trying to negotiate. They will be discussed, but I have to let Ukraine make that decision. And I think they'll make the right decision. But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to bring them to the table, and I think there are two sides. Listen, Vladimir Putin wanted to take over all of Ukraine. If I weren't president, he would have taken over all of Ukraine by now. But he won't," Trump said.
