The White House spokesperson addressed the media on Wednesday afternoon (19/3/25), following a morning phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ‘He spoke with him this morning. As President Trump has repeatedly stated, the money spent by both Russia and Ukraine on this war would be better utilized for the needs of their people,’ said the White House representative. She emphasized that this conflict might not have started if Trump had been president earlier but assured that he is determined to end it permanently. Earlier, Trump described his approximately one-hour conversation with Zelenskyy as ‘very good.’ He added, ‘We are very much on track,’ and requested Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor Mike Wolts to provide detailed insights into the discussed points.
