Trump: 'Bad news' if Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire
US President Donald Trump said he was being "sarcastic" when he, as a presidential candidate, declared he could resolve the crisis in Ukraine within 24 hours.
In a pre-recorded interview with a US news outlet that aired on Sunday, March 16, Trump admitted to "being a little bit sarcastic" about bringing an end to a war that has continued to rage almost two months into his presidency.
"What I really mean is I'd like to get it settled. And I'll — I think I'll be successful," Trump said, adding that it would be "bad news for this world" if Russian president Vladimir Putin didn't agree to a ceasefire.

00:00Are you speaking to Putin in the last days or hours, personally?
00:04Well, I don't want to say it, but we are dealing with him, and I think it's going reasonably well.
00:11It's a very complex situation. It's a bloody, terrible war.
00:18And I do think it's going well. As you know, we have a ceasefire agreement with the Ukrainian group,
00:25and we are trying to get that with Russia, too.
00:29And I think thus far it's gone okay. We'll know a little bit more on Monday, and that'll be hopefully good.
00:37I'm not understating the complexity of all this, but as a candidate, you said you would have this war settled in 24 hours.
00:45Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that.
00:49What I really mean is I'd like to get it settled, and I think I'll be successful.
00:57What's the plan if Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire?
01:02Bad news for this world, because so many people are dying.
01:07But I think he's going to agree. I really do. I think I know him pretty well, and I think he's going to agree.
