The Guardian reports.Asked if he planned to increase pressure on European allies, Trump replied: “The problem is they are purchasing Russian oil. I don’t want them purchasing Russian oil, and they’ve got to stop immediately. Not fair to us. They’re purchasing Russian oil, and we have to do things.”Trump contrasted his approach with that of his predecessor: “They are buying everything from U.S.; unlike Biden, who gave away $350bn, we actually make money. But I don’t want to make money. You know what I want? I want that war to stop.”Pressed by a Ukrainian journalist, Trump said he “loves Ukraine,” while acknowledging the scale of its struggle. “It should have never happened. It’s a war that should have never happened. The country is in very serious trouble. But I’m going to get it stopped,” he said.The president also claimed credit for preventing multiple conflicts. “I’ve stopped seven wars in the last eight months. I thought that would have been the easiest, because I know Putin, but it’s not, because there’s tremendous hatred between Zelenskyy … and Putin, but we’re going to get it stopped.”
