Trump rebukes Zelensky: 'Make a deal, Putin is ready'

Donald Trump expresses impatience about the war in Ukraine, which he would like to end as soon as possible. "Zelensky has to get busy and he has to reach an agreement," the US president said in an interview with Politico.

At the same time, Trump believes that "Putin is ready to reach an agreement", he said. Pressed on what Zelensky's obstacle is to a peace deal, Trump would not give details, but argued that the Ukrainian leader is not showing sufficient willingness to negotiate. "It is unthinkable that he is the obstacle," he said, "he doesn't have the cards. Now he has even less."

"Even Cuba will fall". This was stated by Donald Trump in reference to the US clampdown on the Havana regime. "We cut all the oil, all the money, or we cut everything that comes from Venezuela, which was the only source. And they want to reach an agreement," the president said in an interview with Politico. 'They need help. We are talking to Cuba,' he said.

Trump also confirmed that the US is in contact with Cuba's communist leadership as instability on the island intensifies following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. "They need help. We are talking to Cuba," Trump said. And he suggested that the worsening situation on the island is partly due to US pressure.
