The former president also repeated a bizarre boast that he could, if re-elected in November, negotiate an end to the near three-year Russian war against Ukraine.
Mr Trump, who was impeached in 2019 for using American defence assistance to pressure Mr Zelensky to launch sham investigations into US president Joe Biden and his son, was being briefed on Kyiv’s latest plan for victory against Putin.
“We have a very good relationship,” he told reporters as he stood with the Ukrainian leader. “And I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin. And if we win, I think we’re going to get it resolved very quickly,” he said.
Mr Zelensky quickly interjected: “I hope we have more good relations between us.” Mr Zelensky said that the former president and he share a “common view that the war ... has to be stopped, and Putin can’t win and Ukrainians have to prevail. And I want to discuss with you the details of our plan,” he added.
