Donald Trump assured the media that a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia was near, and before he even meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said the only path to peace he sees is one where Ukraine cedes some land to Russia.
The Daily Beast reports that Trump is now calling it a “swapping of territories.” Trump explained to the media that, considering the two countries have been at war for three and a half years, concessions on both sides will need to be made if there is any hope of a lasting peace deal. That’s despite Trump having had a very tough time negotiating with Putin to this point.
