President Donald Trump Said that the US “just about” the intelligence break about Ukraine, and added that his administration should do everything it is possible to make Ukrainians seriously to close a deal to end the war with Russia.
“You know, I say they don’t have the cards. Nobody really has the cards,” Trump told reporters during a group at Air Force One on Sunday evening. “Russia does not have the cards … What you have to do is that you have to close a deal, and you have to stop the murder. It is a pointless war and we will stop.”

It would never have happened if I was president.”

The president told the reporter that the rates “are the greatest that we have ever done as a country,” adding that they “will make our country rich again”.
The rates, Trump explained, will reduce companies and factories that 90,000 factories in the US were closed since the start of the North -American free trade agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Canada and Mexico, which was in force from 1994 to 2020.

We are going to have jobs. We are going to have open factories. It’s going to be great. “
