US President Donald Trump has said that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have not done anything to end Russia’s war with Ukraine.
Speaking on a Fox News podcast, Trump was asked about his upcoming meetings with Starmer and Macron and interrupted the host saying, “They didn’t do anything…no meetings with Russia!” They haven’t done anything.
“Macron’s a friend of mine”, he continued, adding that Starmer was “a very nice guy” but that neither of them had done anything on Russia.

On Ukraine’s President Zelensky, Trump said, “I’ve been watching him negotiate with no cards. He has no cards and you get sick of it…I’ve had it.”
The US president said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s trip to Ukraine for a minerals deal was a “wasted trip, a dangerous trip too, I didn’t like it,” he says, before comparing Ukraine to Gaza.
Trump said Zelensky complains about not being at meetings and adding that the Ukrainian president has been at meetings for three years “and nothing got done so I don’t think he’s very important to be at meetings”.
“He’s been there for three years…look what’s happened to his country, it’s been demolished,” he said.
