Speaking in Washington alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump said he would wait “a week or two” before stepping in personally. Trump described the Ukraine conflict as harder to resolve than he initially expected, citing “tremendous dislike” between the two leaders. “I thought this would be the easiest one to stop, and it’s really not,” he said, noting that despite his “very good relationship” with Putin, the hostility between Moscow and Kyiv remains a stumbling block.
