President Trump: I鈥檓 disappointed with Putin

Gary O鈥橠onoghue speaks to President Trump in a wide-ranging interview about US immigration policy, his legacy, and Putin: 鈥淚'm just disappointed in him, but I'm not done with him鈥

鈥淚'm just disappointed in him, but I'm not done with him鈥

The 成人快手鈥檚 Chief North America Correspondent, Gary O鈥橠onoghue, speaks to US President Donald Trump in a wide-ranging telephone interview from the Oval Office.

The call with the president came just hours after he announced plans to send weapons to Ukraine and warned of severe tariffs on Russia if there was no ceasefire deal within 50 days.

Mr. Trump, who celebrated his 79th birthday last month, was inaugurated for a second term in the White House at the start of this year. It鈥檚 safe to say that the 47th president of the United States has wasted little time in picking up where he left off four years earlier, upending the status quo both at home and abroad.

In the conversation, he reflects on the failed attempt on his life at an election campaign rally last July in Butler, Pennsylvania. He also discusses the ongoing war in Ukraine, US immigration policy, and hopes for his legacy.
