Trump says he was being ‘bit sarcastic’ when he promised to end Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours

By our Special Correspondent

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday (March 14, 2025) that he was “being a little bit sarcastic” when he repeatedly claimed as a candidate that he would have the Russia-Ukraine war solved within 24 hours — and even before he even took office.

Mr. Trump was asked about the vow he repeatedly made on the campaign trail during an interview for the “Full Measure” television programme as his administration is still trying to broker a solution 54 days into his second term.
