Trump's Conversation with Putin Prevented Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

Former President Trump claimed in an interview with Fox News that a conversation he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin delayed the country's invasion of Ukraine for several years. Trump said he told Putin an invasion would be a "catastrophe" and that there would be "hell to pay." He also claimed he could negotiate a resolution to the conflict within 24 hours if given the chance. Trump did not weigh in on what might be involved in a negotiation between the two countries, such as Russia keeping control of Crimea, as it would "impede a negotiation."
