US President Donald Trump said he is “disappointed but not done" with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid continued aggression by Moscow in Ukraine. Speaking from the Oval Office as per BBC, Donald Trump was asked whether he still trusts Vladimir Putin or not with respect to Ukraine peace talks.

“I trust almost nobody," the US President said bluntly, while reiterating that he still sees potential for a diplomatic breakthrough with Moscow, as per the outlet.

Just hours before the call, Donald Trump unveiled plans to send weapons to Kyiv and warned of “severe tariffs" on Russia if a ceasefire deal isn’t reached within the next 50 days.

“We’re working at it," Donald Trump told the BBC when asked how he would stop the bloodshed, adding, “We’ll have a great conversation. I’ll say: ‘That’s good, I’ll think we’re close to getting it done’ and then Putin will knock down a building in Kyiv." The US President claimed he had believed a deal to end the war was imminent on four separate occasions but said that each time Russia escalated military action in Ukraine.
