President Donald Trump<\/a> has revealed whether Russia<\/a> or Ukraine<\/a> has been easier to deal with amid peace negotiations \u2013 and warned of World War III<\/a> again.<\/p>\n

Trump divulged the country while speaking in the Oval Office today, exactly one week after his meeting there with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> descended into a shouting match that ended with the visitor being asked to leave the White House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A reporter on Friday asked Trump if he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> still seeks peace, in light of new bombings on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe him, I believe him,\u2019 said Trump. \u2018I think we\u2019re doing really well with Russia.\u2019<\/p>\n
