Trump lays out timeline to end Ukraine conflict

"Former US president Donald Trump has promised to put a swift end to the bloodshed in

Trump said: “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I’ll get it settled very quickly.”

He went on to allege that other countries’ leaders have lost respect for the US under Biden’s leadership because of his allegedly poor handling of America’s foreign policy.
