Summary:
Trump hesitant about giving Tomahawks to Ukraine, saying 'hopefully they won't
need it'
Donald
Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy finished speaking to reporters ahead of their
bilateral lunch in which they are expected to discuss Ukraine’s request for US
Tomahawks. Here’s a look at where things stand:
Trump
showed hesitance on supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles. He said: “One of
the reasons we want to get this war over is…that it’s not easy for us to give
you … massive numbers of very powerful weapons … Hopefully they won’t need it.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get the war over with without thinking about
Tomahawks.”
Zelenskyy
emphasized Nato and security guarantees as part of any peace deal with Russia.
“First of all, I think we need to sit and speak. The second point, we need
ceasefire… We are ready to speak in any kind of format,” he said, adding:
“Nato, for Ukrainians, is very important… But the most important thing…for
people in Ukraine, which are under each day’s attacks, to have really strong
security guarantees.”
Trump
said that Melania Trump’s push to help return displaced Ukrainian children in
the war was her own decision. “She wanted to do it. She just felt very strongly
about the children. And she’s done a really good job,” Trump said. Last week,
the first lady announced the return of the children followed an “open channel
of communication” she had with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Trump
called himself the “mediator president,” adding: “I love solving wars.” Talking
about his mediating efforts around the world, he said: “This is number nine.
Okay, this will be number nine for me. I’ve solved eight, including the Middle
East… I didn’t get a Nobel Prize…so I don’t care about all that stuff. I just
care about saving lives. But this will be number nine.”
Zelenksyy
said that he believes Trump has a “big chance to finish this war.” Speaking to
reporters, Zelenskyy added: “President Trump really showed for the world that
he can manage [a] ceasefire in [the] Middle East and that’s why I hope that he
will do this and we will hve a big success for Ukraine… I hope that President
Trump can manage it.”
Trump
also said that there is a lot of “bad blood” between Zelenskyyy and Putin.
‘These two leaders do not like each other, and we want to make it comfortable
for everybody. So one way or the other we’ll be involved in threes, but it may
be separated,” Trump said.
