“Zelenskyy is a man that should have had settled this war a long time ago. If he would’ve listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago,” Trump told reporters outside the White House on Monday. “Maybe it’s time for Zelenskyy to get somebody else to negotiate.” The US president has been verbally swiping at his Ukrainian counterpart for several days as a rift between the leaders deepens.
