President Trump said in an interview on Friday evening that he wants to see the death end in Ukraine, and his negotiations with President Vladimir Putin to end the war earlier in the day was “very good.”
“But we’ll see. I mean, you have to get a deal,” he said. “We agreed on a lot of points.”
President Trump joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.
The three-on-three meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson included President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and their Russian counterparts.

Trump: We had a very good meeting today, but we’ll see. I mean, you have to get a deal. We agreed on a lot of points. I want to see people stop dying in Ukraine, and that’s what’s happening. We’re losing 5, 6, 7, thousand. They’re Russians, mostly Russians, and they’re Ukrainian soldiers, and there’s some people dying in cities and towns, where they’re trying to blow up missile manufacturers and other things. In some cities, I don’t know if you know what’s going on there, but there are a lot of people dying. And if we can end that war, it would be very good. And I was very happy to hear him say, if I was president, that war would have never happened.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump and Putin came to a tentative agreement to secure peace between Russia and Ukraine after a three-hour-long meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
Still, Ukraine and NATO are “going to have to agree,” Trump stated, noting that “there’s no deal until there’s a deal,” and “it’s ultimately up to them.”
“We really made some great progress today,” he said.
At one point, during a post-meeting press conference with Putin and Trump, Putin confirmed to reporters that the war would have never even started if the election wasn’t stolen from Trump in 2020. “I’m quite sure that it would indeed be so,” Putin said.
Putin also drew contrasts between Trump and Biden, saying that Trump is “results-oriented,” “has a very clear idea of what he would like to achieve,” and “sincerely cares about the prosperity of his nation” before taking aim at Biden for being uncooperative during their last meeting.
“I’d like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities, and I said that quite directly back then that it’s a big mistake.”
