President Donald Trump<\/a> on Saturday said he won\u2019t waste time meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> again unless a deal on the war in Ukraine<\/a> is likely.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to have to know that we’re going to make a deal,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One after taking off from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, when asked about securing a meeting with Putin. “I’m not going to be wasting my time. I’ve always had a great relationship with Vladimir Putin, but this has been very disappointing.”<\/p>\n

He said he thought the war in Ukraine would have been resolved “long before” the peace deal between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

“We have Azerbaijan and Armenia. That was very tough,” Trump added, referring to the peace summit<\/a> he hosted at the White House between the two countries last summer.<\/p>\n

TRUMP FREEZES OUT PUTIN FOR LACK OF \u2018ENOUGH ACTION\u2019 TOWARD PEACE \u2014 FUTURE TALKS UNCERTAIN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He continued, “In fact, Putin told me on the phone, he said, \u2018Boy, that was amazing,\u2019 because everybody tried to get that done, and they couldn’t. I got it done. You had others. If you look at India and Pakistan<\/a>, I could say almost any one of the deals that I’ve already done, I thought would have been more difficult than Russia, than Ukraine, but it didn’t work out that way.”<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of hatred between the two, between [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky and Putin, there’s tremendous hatred<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Trump said he had called off a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest<\/a> to discuss the war because he saw it as a “waste of time.”<\/p>\n

Trump announced the Budapest meeting<\/a> last week, saying it could happen within the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

He also announced sanctions against Russia<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

Trump and Putin last met in Alaska<\/a> in August, but no deal was reached following the summit.<\/p>\n

Trump met with Zelenskyy last week at the White House<\/u><\/a>, where he seemingly denied Ukraine\u2019s request for Tomahawk long-range missiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president also said that in his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week he wants a “complete [trade] deal.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I want our farmers to be taken care of, and he wants things also,” Trump said. “We’re going to be talking about fentanyl, of course. Fentanyl is killing a lot of people, a lot people. It comes from China, and we’ll be talking a lot about that. We’ll be talking about a lot things. I think we have a really good chance of making a very comprehensive deal.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
