GOP Sen. Mullin: Trump Has the Capability to ‘Apply Pressure’ on Putin to Negotiate a Deal to End the War in Ukraine

EXCERPT:

KARL: “I want to read what 'The Wall Street Journal' editorial page had to say about all of this, this week. They said, 'Mr. Trump likes to negotiate from strength, but on Ukraine he sounds like the one who wants a deal more. Mr. Putin, meanwhile, is continuing to bomb Ukraine's cities and power plants and take territory in the east, albeit at enormous human cost. If Mr. Trump wants to end the war on honorable terms, he may have to demonstrate he can raise the pressure on Mr. Putin.' So, what is your sense? Is -- is President Trump poised to actually really turn the screws on Putin?”
MULLIN: “Absolutely because Putin knows the one person that can truly change the war is the United States. If we went all in for Ukraine, if we went all in with the resources we have, from air superiority to -- to the weapons that we can deploy to Ukraine, Putin knows at that point he would be in an extremely negative position. I think that being the opportunity for President Trump to talk to Putin and say, listen, we want to end the war. We don't want to have to engage more. But we're not going to allow you to move forward. So, let's negotiate a peace deal here or you're going to force our hand to be farther involved. That's what peace through strength is.”
