In a surprise telephone interview with BBC News, former President Donald Trump expressed deep frustration with Vladimir Putin, revealing he had believed four separate ceasefire deals were reached only to see Russia attack again. Trump admitted he ‘trusts almost nobody’ when specifically questioned about Putin, while also stating he’s ‘disappointed but not done’ with the Russian leader. The interview covered multiple topics including Trump’s reflection on his assassination attempt, where he avoids dwelling on the event to prevent it from being ‘life-changing’. Trump also discussed immigration policy, refusing to set deportation targets while emphasizing removing ‘criminals quickly’, and notably reversed his previous stance on NATO, now calling the alliance valuable. The unexpected call occurred when a BBC reporter was asleep, with Trump sharing his views on Ukraine, NATO funding reforms, and praise for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
