- We got a readout of your call with Vladimir Putin, and it was a fairly optimistic take. Vladimir Putin agreed to a ceasefire immediately on energy and infrastructure, but not to a 30-day ceasefire. Tell us what happened. - Well, you have a situation, we have a lot of guns pointing at each other, foolishly, because it would have never happened if I were president. That was not a war that was supposed to happen, and it did happen, so that's where we are. And right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other, and a ceasefire without going a little bit further would have been tough. Russia has the advantage, as you know, they have encircled about 2,500 soldiers. They are nicely encircled, and that's not good, and we wanna get it over with. Look, we're doing this, there are no Americans involved. There could be, if you end up in World War III over this, which is so ridiculous, but, you know, strange things happen. And I think we had a great call, lasted almost two hours, talked about a lot of things, and toward getting it to peace, and we talked about other things also.
