White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday during her press briefing while responding to NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell, confirmed that President Trump understands what both sides want, what both sides are going to have to give up. And he has always said, ‘in order to get a good deal, both sides are going to have to walk away a little bit unhappy.
When asked by NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell, Trump’s hot-mic comments suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin “wants to make a deal” with him. Leavitt stood firm, reiterating that Trump is committed to achieving peace and stability, while critics argue that the remark reveals too much about Trump’s foreign policy approach. ‘Well, the president has learned a lot, which is part of the reason he opened up this dialogue,” Leavitt responded. “The previous administration who oversaw the beginning of this war refused to talk, and President Trump has always said ‘in order to learn, in order to move the ball forward with diplomacy and towards peace, you have to have open dialogue. And so that’s why the president has had several conversations by phone, and of course an in-person meeting last Friday with President Putin … he’s understanding what both sides want, what both sides are going to have to give up. And he has always said, ‘in order to get a good deal, both sides are going to have to walk away a little bit unhappy.”
In short, Leavitt once again entirely avoided answering a very direct question.
