President Donald Trump issued a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, stating that he is “playing with fire.” This comes days after President Trump described the Russian leader as “absolutely crazy” in response to the ongoing bombings of Ukraine.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump asserted, “What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD.”
President Trump has previously stated his intention to broker a peace agreement between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but has recently voiced increasing frustration with both leaders.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, President Trump commented on Putin’s actions, saying, “I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin. I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all.”
