Trump tells ABC News Russia's overnight strikes on Ukraine hurt Putin
President Donald Trump told ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott he's going to talk with Vladimir Putin about Russia's overnight strikes during Friday's meeting. Trump said he believed the strikes hurt the Russian leader ahead of their talks.
"I think they're trying to negotiate. He's trying to set a stage. I mean, in his mind, that helps him make a better deal. It actually hurts him. But in his mind, that helps him make a better deal, if they could continue the killing. Maybe it's a part of the world, Maybe it's just his fabric, his genes, his genetics, but he thinks that makes him, gives him strength in negotiating. I think it hurts him, but I'll be talking to him about it later," Trump said aboard Air Force One.

Russia attacked Ukraine with two ballistic missiles and 97 drones, the Ukrainian Air Force said on Friday morning.
