Trump explained why he first spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 12 and then called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Someone said I should have called Zelensky first. I don’t think so. We must find out whether Russia wants to make a deal. I know Zelensky wants to make a deal. But now I know Russia wants to make a deal,” he told reporters.
He stressed that he had excellent conversations with both Zelensky and Putin.
