In his first interview with CBS News since settling a lawsuit with the network’s parent company earlier this year, President Trump appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday night and offered candid opinions about global leadership and diplomacy.
When asked which of the two was more difficult to deal with, President Trump made no distinction. “They’re both tough, they’re both smart. They’re both very strong leaders. They shouldn’t be at their mercy,” he said. “They’re serious people, they’re not the type to talk about how nice the weather is.”
During the interview, President Trump also addressed the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, insisting that it would never have happened under his leadership. “It was a war that would never have happened had I been president,” he said, adding that Russian leader Vladimir Putin himself acknowledged this. “I inherited a country where President Putin thinks he’s winning. Joe Biden was president when that happened.”
