I'm 'disappointed but not done' with Putin, Trump tells BBC

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, former US President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in the ongoing war in Ukraine. However, Trump stated that he is "not done" with Putin and still believes there is room for negotiation. Trump acknowledged that he trusts "almost no-one" and criticized the current US administration's handling of the conflict, claiming that he could have prevented the war. He also discussed his views on NATO, suggesting that the alliance should play a more active role in the situation. Despite his critical stance, Trump emphasized that he remains open to finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis and is willing to engage with Putin. The former president's comments come as the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, with both sides facing significant challenges and casualties.
