Trump pushes Zelensky to strike a deal with Russia: 'Time to make a deal'
President Trump pressured Ukrainian President Zelensky to reach a deal with Russia, stating "it's time to make a deal" and complaining the U.S. received "nothing in return" for its support. Trump said Zelensky "could have made a deal two years ago" and must now negotiate, claiming Ukrainians "won't be able to endure much more." The remarks follow Zelensky's Oslo meeting with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who plans to visit Putin on Wednesday. Zelensky expressed relative optimism after Oslo talks, citing a constructive call with Secretary Rubio and requesting a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin. He also thanked the U.S. for restored intelligence sharing, which provides early missile warnings for civilians.
