President Donald Trump on Saturday said that his administration’s peace proposal for Ukraine and Russia is “not my final offer,” telling reporters after a question from NBC News, “One way or the other, we have to get it ended.”
Trump added that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t agree to the peace plan, “then he can continue to fight his little heart out.”
Earlier this week, Trump said that he wants Zelenskyy — who has hesitations about the proposal — to accept the peace plan by Thanksgiving.
