Trump says he’s “in the middle,” both for Ukraine and Russia as he meets with Zelenskyy in Washington 

Rapid Response 47 shared the information.

"I'm in the middle. I want to solve this thing... I want to see it get solved," Trump remarked, adding that he spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin just a few days ago, and that Putin is eager to strike a deal. 

Trump also commented: "I'm not aligned with Putin", saying he was aligned with the U.S. and the good of the world. He reiterated NATO and Europe needed to step up.
