Trump: Ukraine War 'Wouldn't Have Happened' Under My Presidency

Former US President Donald Trump's comments on the Ukraine conflict have sparked renewed debate. In a recent interview, Trump expressed his surprise at Russia's actions, stating, "I'm shocked by Putin's actions...the war wouldn't have happened if I were president." He emphasized a desire for peace, contrasting with the ongoing conflict. This statement, however, has been met with criticism from some quarters, who point to Trump's past dealings with Putin. The interview, subtitled in Arabic, highlights the global interest in Trump's perspective on the war. The ongoing conflict continues to be a major international concern.
