As the bloodiest land war in Europe since World War II continues in Ukraine, President Trump wanted to make sure 60 Minutes saw the list of eight international conflicts he says he’s been able to end since returning to office.
“You know how I solved ’em?” asks Trump. “I said, in many cases, in 60% I said, ‘If you don’t stop fighting, I’m putting tariffs on both of your countries and you’re not going to be able to do business with the United [States].”
So why isn’t that working with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine?
“We don’t do very much business with Russia, for one thing,” he says. “He’s not somebody that buys a lot from us because of foolishness. And I think he’d like to be.”
