Trump slams Putin’s ‘bulls***’ amid Russia’s ongoing Ukraine war

Donald Trump has called out Vladimir Putin’s “bulls***” whilst discussing the ongoing Russian war and Ukrainian peace talks. Speaking to reporters following a meeting with his Cabinet on Tuesday (8 July), the US president said: “I'm not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now," noting that Russian and Ukrainian soldiers were dying in their thousands. “We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin. ... He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” he added. The US president also said he was considering “very strongly” whether to give his backing to a bill in the Senate that would impose harsh sanctions on Moscow over the war.
