Trump then answered questions from reporters about the military conflict in Ukraine, saying he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the war to end.
« I believe he wants peace, » Trump told one reporter. « I believe that President Putin- when I spoke to him yesterday- I know him very well. I think he wants peace. Yeah, I think he would tell me if he didn’t. I would like to see peace. »
« Do you trust President Putin? » Collins asked.
Trump said Russia wants the war to end, arguing that the conflict easily could have been avoided.
« I believe that — yeah, I believe that he would like to see something happen. I trust him on the subject. I think he would like to see something happen. I think it could have happened a long time ago, » Trump said. « I think Biden — number one, it shouldn’t have started, but it did, and now all those cities are knocked down, like demolition sites. »

Trump went on to argue that some sort of negotiation to stop the war « should have been done by Biden years ago. This should have never been allowed to happen. I know he’s a friend of yours, » he said to Collins.
« But couldn’t Putin just withdraw- » she began.
« He’s a friend of CNN. That’s why nobody watches CNN anymore, because they have no credibility, » Trump said, before moving on.
