US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he wants Russia’s Vladimir Putin to “stop shooting” in Ukraine and sign a peace treaty, one day after meeting Ukraine’s president at the Vatican.
Trump, who claimed before his inauguration that he could stop Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in one day, has begun a diplomatic drive since taking office to put an end to the war.
These attempts have so far yielded no results.
“Well, I want him to stop shooting, sit down, and sign a deal,” Trump said in response to a question on what he wanted from Putin.
After attending Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome on Saturday, Trump spoke on the tarmac at Morristown Airport before boarding Air Force One destined for Washington.
“We have the confines of a deal, I believe, and I want him to sign it,” Trump added, likely referring to a US-proposed peace plan for the more-than-three-year-long conflict in Ukraine.
