Donald Trump has called out Vladimir Putin’s “bulls***” whilst discussing the ongoing Russian war and Ukrainian peace talks.
Speaking to reporters following a meeting with his Cabinet on Tuesday (8 July), the US president said: “I’m not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now,” noting that Russian and Ukrainian soldiers were dying in their thousands.
“We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin. … He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” he added.
The US president also said he was considering “very strongly” whether to give his backing to a bill in the Senate that would impose harsh sanctions on Moscow over the war.
