Trump hints at progress in Ukraine talks, backs Musk's moves
Donald Trump assessed that discussions concerning Ukraine are going "quite well" and that he has scheduled talks on this issue "with various parties." During a ten-minute meeting with journalists, Trump addressed various topics from recent days.
During the meeting with journalists at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Trump noted that he plans to talk with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia. However, he did not provide details about these talks.
"We're dealing with Ukraine and Russia. We have meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia. And I think those discussions are actually going pretty well," reported the President of the United States.
Supported Musk's actions
The President also addressed Elon Musk's actions. Despite having no formal role, Musk took control of several government agencies, including the Treasury Department's payment system, and began halting what he deemed illegal budget disbursements, including foreign aid.
Trump stated that Musk is doing a good job, although he noted that he will not always agree with him. However, he agreed with the billionaire's assessment of the USAID agency—currently the main target of Musk's criticism—which he believes was previously led by "radically left-wing lunatics."
Trump also announced the suspension of aid to South Africa—Musk's homeland—for "terrible" actions against white farmers.
