Four New York Times reporters "pressed" Donald Trump on various issues during an almost two-hour interview.
Here is part of the transcript of their conversation concerning Ukraine, specifically the Ukrainian leader and "whether he has cards."
David E. Sanger: You famously sat in this room and told Zelenskyy, "You don't have any cards," back in February.
President Trump: That's true. Well, he doesn't have any cards. He didn't have — he didn't have any cards from day one.
David E. Sanger: So he didn't have them then. Does he have them now?
President Trump: No, he doesn't have them.
David E. Sanger: He doesn't have them. And what does that mean, in your view? He should — he hasn't given up territory yet? And he has?
President Trump: He only has one thing.
David E. Sanger: What?
President Trump: Donald Trump.
