Trump said Zelensky has no trump cards in the negotiating position.

US President Donald Trump has stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has no trump cards in his negotiating position on a peaceful settlement. He made the corresponding statement on Friday, May 16, in an interview with Fox News channel.

"I've always said that he (Zelensky. — Ed.) there are no cards in his hands," Trump stressed.

He also mentioned that his negotiations with Zelensky turned out to be quite difficult, since the American leader did not like the statements of his Ukrainian counterpart.
