Trump admitted that he overestimated his capabilities
The head of the White House shared his thoughts during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Donald Trump once again boasted that he had made "seven great deals" and also proposed a peace plan for Gaza.
Returning to the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war, he recalled his previous statements about the large number of deaths and called this situation "madness."
I thought it would be one of the easiest problems, and I get along very well with Putin… I’m very disappointed in him because I thought it would be easy to solve, but it turned out to be perhaps harder than the Middle East.
