US President Donald Trump has said he remains open to diplomatic engagement with Russia despite expressing disappointment in President Vladimir Putin, the BBC reported Tuesday.
Hours earlier, Trump announced his support for the delivery of Patriot missile systems and other weapons to Ukraine, funded by European NATO allies. He also threatened new import tariffs on Russia and any nations purchasing its exports unless the conflict in Ukraine is resolved within 50 days.
In a phone interview with the BBC, Trump was asked about his current stance toward Putin. “I’m disappointed in him, but I’m not done with him. But I’m disappointed in him,” he said.
