Trump says it's time for US to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine as aborted mutiny has 'somewhat weakened' Putin while Ukraine 'earned a lot of credit' on battlefield

Speaking expansively about foreign policy, the front-runner in opinion polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination also said China should be given a 48-hour deadline to get out of what sources familiar with the matter say is a Chinese spy capability on the island of Cuba 145 km off the US coast.
"I think they would be entitled to keep much of what they've earned and I think that Russia likewise would agree to that. You need the right mediator, or negotiator, and we don't have that right now," he said. "I think the biggest thing that the US should be doing right now is making peace — getting Russia and Ukraine together and making peace. You can do it," Trump said.As president, Trump developed friendly relations with Putin, who Biden said on Wednesday has"become a bit of pariah around the world".
If Putin were no longer in power, however,"you don't know what the alternative is. It could be better, but it could be far worse," Trump said. "I'd give them 48 hours to get out. And if they didn't get out, I'd charge them a 100 percent tariff on everything they sell to the United States, and they'd be gone within two days. They'd be gone within one hour," Trump said.
