Trump: The problem with the Tomahawk that a lot of people don't know, it'll take a minimum of six months, usually a year, to learn how to use them.
They're highly complex. The only way a Tomahawk is going to be shot is if we shot it, and we're not going to do that. 1/
Q: Why are you elevating sanctions against Russia right now?
Trump: I just felt it was time. We've waited a long time. I thought that we'd go long before the Middle East. 2/
Trump: In terms of honesty, every time I speak with Putin, I have good conversations and then they don't go anywhere.
He's fighting a war. It's time to make a deal. A lot of people are dying. They're souls. Worst since World War II. 3/
Trump: I think sanctions will have an impact. They're massive, on oil and two of the biggest Russian companies.
Hopefully Putin and Zelenskyy will become reasonable. They hate each other, and that makes it more difficult than it should be. 4/
Trump: WSJ said I gave Ukraine permission to shoot missiles deep into Russia. I didn't do that. They're not using our missiles.
They're using European missiles. I don't control that. I control ours. It was a fake story. WSJ does a lot of fake stories. 5X
