Trump had scathing response to reporter when asked about Russia's latest attack on Ukraine

Talks of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine still persist

As the war rages on in Ukraine, Donald Trump has given his answer on what he was going to do about Russia’s recent attacks.

Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that he plans to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2014.

However, while the US has been in talks with both Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, peace hasn’t exactly been long lasting.

Only yesterday (April 24) Trump condemned a Russia drone strike that killed 9 people in Kyiv and insisted he was 'not happy' with the action.

The attack in question killed at least 9 people and injured more than 70, making it the deadliest assault on the Ukrainian capital since last July.

Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, he posted: "I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!"

On Thursday (April 24) during a bilateral meeting with with Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office, Trump had to take questions from reporters on how the US would react if Russia remained aggressive.

During the meeting, the businessman was asked whether he would consider further sanctions against Moscow if a peace deal was not struck soon.

He said: “I’d rather answer that question in a week. I want to see if we can have a deal.”

Another reporter then demanded to know why the US wasn’t putting more pressure on Russia already and what kind of pressure it could apply.

He then seemingly hit back: “I’m putting a lot of pressure. You don’t know what pressure I’m putting. They’re dealing. You have no idea what pressure I’m putting on Russia.

“We’re putting a lot of pressure and Russia knows that and some people who are close to it know or he wouldn’t be talking right now.

“The Prime Minister understands that better than anybody, he wouldn’t be talking, he is talking and we are putting a lot of pressure and we think he wants to make a deal.

“We are going to find out very soon but it takes two to tango and you have to have Ukraine want to make a deal too and they are being hit very hard and I do believe they do want to make a deal.”

However, while an official peace deal hasn't been confirmed, the White House reportedly proposed a deal during discussions in London on Wednesday (April 23).

On the same day, Trump took to Truth Social to seemingly vent about Zelenskyy, writing (via Sky News): "We are very close to a deal, but the man with 'no cards to play' should now, finally, GET IT DONE."
