President Donald Trump admitted Thursday that he feels "let down" by Russian President Vladimir Putin over the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Trump held a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the U.K. following a lavish welcome to the country, including a military ceremony with multiple marching bands, horse-drawn carriages and a state dinner that included Rupert Murdoch and Tim Cook.
"Well, he has let me down," Trump said. "I mean, he's killing many people and he's losing more people than he's, you know, than he's killing. I mean, frankly, the... Russian soldiers are being killed at a higher rate than the Ukrainian soldiers. But, yeah, he's let me down."
He argued that he inherited the situation from the previous administration and blamed former President Joe Biden. He even signaled it that the conflict in Europe could devolve into another world war.
Starmer added that “we have to put extra pressure on Putin."
Trump and Starmer had a closed door conversation about the war in Ukraine and Gaza.
