Trump: I Want Ukraine ‘to Want Peace’

‘I think eventually we have to have peace’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, I think they will sign the minerals deal, but I want them to want peace. Right now — "

REPORTER: "How would they show that? How would they show it?"

TRUMP: "Well, right now, they haven't shown it to the extent that they should. I think right now they haven’t. But I think they will be and I think it’s going to become evident over the next two or three days. I think eventually — look, we have to have peace. And I'm doing this — money is one thing. They spent $350 billion on this. But the big thing, human life. Thousands of people this week, thousands of young soldiers died this week. Hundreds of people died in cities in Ukraine, and we have to get it stopped. It never would’ve happened if I was president, and it didn't happen.”
