Trump on His Call on with Putin: ‘I Said, When Are We Going to End This, Vladimir?’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Of course I did. I talked to him about it. I said, when are we going to end this, Vladimir? I’ve known for a long time now. I said, when are we going to end this bloodshed? This bloodbath? It’s a bloodbath. And I do believe he wants to end it. You know, when I made the call, I told the people last night, I spoke to the heads of the different countries, Germany and Finland. We had Italy, as you know, U.K. was on the line today and a couple of others and then they were in turn calling everyone. Ursula was there from the European Union. She was terrific and we, you know, we spoke for a long time about it. And they got a problem. It’s a big, big problem. It’s a — it’s a terrible war. It’s very hard to extradite themselves away from what’s taking place over there, the amount of — the amount of anger, the amount of hate and the amount of death. It’s very hard, very tough situation. But I said to him, we got to get going. And I did say also, if I thought that you couldn’t do it, I’d step away because what are you going to do? We don’t have boots on the ground. We wouldn’t have boots on the ground, but we do have a big stake and the financial amount that was put up is just crazy. It’s crazy.”
