In what amounted to a fortuitous opportunity for President Donald Trump to distance his beliefs from those of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Russia-Ukraine War, Trump went off on Putin during a phone interview, which was aired by NBC News on Sunday.
While Trump critics have accused Trump of everything from siding with Putin against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the war to being little more than Putin’s puppet, Trump came out of the gate in no uncertain terms during the interview, saying he was “very angry” and “p***** off,” and telling NBC that Putin’s comments are not “going in the right direction.”
As Agence France-Presse reported on Friday, Putin is now calling for a Ukrainian transitional government to replace Zelensky.
