From the Oval Office on his first day back as U.S. President, Donald Trump pressed Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace in Ukraine. Trump claimed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is ready to talk, but warned that Russia’s ongoing war is taking a toll.
"I think he’s destroying Russia by not making a deal... Their economy, their inflation—Russia is in big trouble," Trump said.
With Trump signaling plans to meet Putin, could this mark a turning point in the conflict?

00:00I'll be meeting with President Putin.
00:02When, do you think?
00:03I don't know.
00:04I can't.
00:05It's being set up.
00:06When do you think you'll get your first strike of force?
00:07That might be so.
00:08Zelensky wants to make a deal.
00:09I don't know if Putin does.
00:10He might not.
00:11I don't know.
00:12And he should make a deal.
00:16I think he's destroying Russia by not making a deal.
00:20I think Russia's going to be in big trouble.
00:23You take a look at their economy, you take a look at the inflation in Russia.
00:27So I would hope, I got along with him great and, you know, I would hope he wants to make
00:33a deal.
00:34Mr. President, are you keeping U.S. sanctions on Russia until he makes a deal?
00:38Well sanctions or tariffs.
00:40I think the word tariff is much better because it keeps your dollar stronger.
