US President Donald Trump said that he learned about another attack on Ukraine from his wife, Melania, after phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump made this statement during a joint press conference with US Secretary General Mark Rutte.
"The talk (with Putin – ed.) doesn’t mean anything. My conversations with him (Putin – ed.) are always very pleasant," Trump said.
He then recalled how, after one of those conversations with Putin, he came home and told Melania about it.
"I go home, I tell the First Lady, 'You know, I spoke to Vladimir (Putin – ed.) today, we had a wonderful conversation.' She said, ‘Oh, really? Another city was just hit,’" Trump recounted.
Later, during another appearance, Trump clarified that Melania had told him at the time about Russia attacking a retirement home.
Speaking about the Russian President, Trump emphasized: "I don’t want to say he's an assassin, but he’s a tough guy."
He also added that the Kremlin leader had repeatedly misled previous US presidents.
"He fooled a lot of people: he fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden. He didn’t fool me, but what I do say is that at some point, ultimately, talk doesn't talk. It's got to be action. It's got to be results," Trump stressed.
