Trump on Thailand-Cambodia Ceasefire Right After EU Trade Deal: ‘Millions of People Are Going to Be Saved’

"President Donald Trump told Breitbart News that the unconditional ceasefire he negotiated between Thailand and Cambodia while here in Scotland will save millions of lives in the two southeast Asian nations.
That deal, of course, came right on the heels of another major deal the president announced here in Scotland during this short trip to his mother’s homeland: On Sunday evening, after just about an hour of negotiations, Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a massive trade deal between the United States and the European Union, which von der Leyen described as the “biggest trade deal ever.”
Later, Trump departed for Aberdeen on Scotland’s other coast, where the president is opening a new golf course named for his Scottish-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod."

I love the Russian people – Trump

"U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his “love” for Russians and called them a “great people.” At the same time, he threatened Moscow with more sanctions and set a new deadline for settling the Ukraine conflict.
Trump said he has “always gotten along with [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin,” during a Q&A session with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland on Monday. He praised Russia as a “rich” nation that could be “thriving like practically no other country” and spoke about the massive trade potential between Russia and the U.S.
I don’t want to do that to Russia, I love the Russian people,” he said when asked about new sanctions.
He expressed his disappointment over the slow pace of the peace process between Moscow and Kiev and accused Russia of striking Ukrainian cities. Trump said he was “not interested in talking anymore” as his numerous “respectful and nice conversations” with Putin led to nothing." RT
