Trump Offers Russia “Most Powerful Weapon” After Call With Putin: “He’s a Good Guy”

WASHINGTON — In a stunning statement made during an impromptu press briefing on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to support Russia in its war against Ukraine, citing a recent “very beautiful” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Vladimir’s a strong leader, very smart — a good guy, really,” Trump told reporters outside Mar-a-Lago. “After we talked, I realized it’s only fair we help Russia. They’ve been treated very badly. So I offered them America’s most powerful weapon. Nobody else would do that.”

The Kremlin has not yet responded publicly.
