Trump pressures Russia to end Ukraine war | LiveNOW from FOX

President-elect Donald Trump said in a statement on Truth Social: "Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place. They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever. Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success. Likewise, Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians. There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!"

[Bhethar]

Let’s hope we can finally have peace in the Middle East and in Europe.

[HighDiver]

Anyone ever notice “Russia, Russia, Russia” sounds a lot like “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!”

[SOz-ufyq]

OK > Assad has Fallen, Time to GO Back Home.
Can we have our streets BACK to normal and SAFE again, FOR GOODNESS SAKE?

[Carrie-er]

No more money for other countries take care of America.

[markdevlin]

Well a very strong interview and stance out of the gate. We will just have to see how it goes.

[jsharp]

Turn the money faucet off. No reason for more lives to be lost for nothing.

[stanislavsavonin]

Time will tell, hope Syria is not another Libya

I think you are giving false symbolism to Trump’s attire. I don’t agree that he was dressed as a nod to Ukraine. The colours that can be seen when standing inside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris are red, blue and gold stained glass so I think that’s how Trump and his stylist probably advised to dress in order to compliment the Notre Dame Cathedral re-opening celebration.

This is a good news anchor. Always insightful and gets to the point.

[MoonLiteNite]

i thought this would have happened 12 years ago... better late that never.
2 thumbs to those who fight against an overreaching government!

[mitchpalmer]

A ceasefire only works if both parties agree to it and actually do it.

[George-xtf]

Notice how the MSM calls the head chopping terrorists rebels? Lol

[thomass]

This was some really high-quality reporting and interview. Henry is a truth-teller. .

[ShogunJorochi]

This looks like Libya and Iraq...None of these countries became great after a big event like that. People might celebrate now, but probably cry a decade later.

[sharonjonsy]

We've got to stop this madness, no more money or weapons!!!

[kimhelton]

wont happen, get out of Ukraine and Syria and focus on US debt and chaos

[Chertoff]

Lets call it what it is, the Syrian government fell to Al Qeada

[cjanvier]

I hope that this isn't another regime led by another ayatollah like person.
