Trump says he thinks Zelensky is ready to ‘make a deal’ that would give up Crimea, while Rubio says ‘we're not there yet’

TRUMP: ‘WE HAVE THE CONFINES OF A DEAL, I BELIEVE’: President Donald Trump continues to signal a deal to stop the fighting in Ukraine could be imminent, while his Secretary of State Marco Rubio is cautioning against excessive optimism and warning the U.S. may soon give up on the peace initiative.

Speaking to reporters on the tarmac at Morristown Airport in New Jersey Sunday, Trump said after his Vatican sitdown with Volodymyr Zelensky, he thinks the Ukrainian president is “calmer” and “understands the picture.”
