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 stated that he had a good relationship with Putin and that he believed Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if he were still in office.
