President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Thursday, while he was still in Britain.
The interview was done on the last day of Trump’s state visit in the U.K. He is the only president in U.S. history to have been honored with two state visits.
President Trump praised King Charles, and commended him on the job he is doing, since being crowned king after Queen Elizabeth’s passing.

Not mincing words, Trump said he is disappointed in Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has so far refused to end his war against Ukraine, despite Trump’s best efforts to try to get that war stopped.
.@POTUS: “I’m disappointed in Putin, I’ll tell you… The relationship between President Putin and President Zelensky is a horrible one… and we’ll see what happens… I was unhappy with the European Union, or let’s say NATO, when I saw that they were buying oil from Russia.” pic.twitter.com/RKjcn8F43L

Trump said he will be speaking with China’s President Xi on Friday:
.@POTUS: “China’s by far the biggest purchaser of oil from Russia… I’m speaking with President Xi on Friday… we’ll see how that all works. If Europe did something with respect to China, I think China would probably maybe force an end to the war.” pic.twitter.com/4NfsfzlVag

Regarding the Radical Left, Trump said, “I see people saying things — they’re crazy. These people are crazed lunatics… maybe they’re drugged out, maybe they have some other problem… the kinds of things you hear are so unbelievable.”
