Trump turns on Putin after Vatican meeting with Zelensky

“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently,” Trump wrote of the Russian assault, hours after holding an impromptu meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Vatican.
