“I think [Putin] wants to see it done,” Trump said, refusing to say what the outstanding issue was.
Trump also accused his predecessor, Joe Biden, of pushing China and Russia together, countries that he said should have been “natural enemies.”
“He did something that was unthinkable. He drove China and Russia together. That’s not good,” he said.
