Donald Trump says he's hopeful for Ukraine peace deal after talks with UK PM | BBC News

US President Donald Trump says he thinks there will be a Ukraine peace deal and a US-UK trade deal after talks with UK PM Keir Starmer at the White House.

On Ukraine, Trump said a ceasefire will be agreed "soon" or "won't be at all."

He also said he respects President Zelensky and praised his military: "They have fought very bravely... somebody has to use that equipment and they have been very brave."

On a UK trade deal Trump said, "I think we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary."

When asked by the BBC's Chris Mason if he still thinks Ukraine's President Zelensky is a dictator - Trump replied: "Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next question."
