President Donald Trump denied either the Russian or Ukrainian governments were “playing” him as he continues to push for an end to the three-year-old war that was launched with an unprovoked Russian invasion in 2022.
Speaking in the Oval Office Friday following a swearing-in ceremony for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz, Trump said the ongoing talks were “coming to a head” and warned that the U.S. would walk away from the peace efforts if a resolution is not reached soon.
