Donald Trump said this during a press conference at the White House, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
In response to the question whether he would impose additional sanctions against Russia if Putin does not sit down with him at the negotiating table on peace in Ukraine, the head of the White House replied: “It sounds likely.”
When asked whether he believes the war should be frozen, Trump replied: “The war shouldn't have started, and if you had a competent president - which you didn't - there wouldn't have been a war.”
