NOW: Trump welcomes Zelensky to the White House.

Reporter: Do you believe you can convince Putin to end the war in Ukraine?

Trump: Yes, we can.

Trump on Zelensky:

He is a very strong leader who has been through a lot.

We get along really well.

Zelensky:

We met with big American energy companies. They are ready to help after all the attacks on our infrastructure.

We also met with good military companies, we spoke about air defense.

Trump:

Zelensky looks beautiful in his jacket. It is actually very stylish. I like it.

Trump:

The meeting in Hungary will most likely be a double meeting.

We will have Zelensky in touch.

Trump:

I think Putin wants to end the war. Or he would not be talking this way.

I think Zelensky wants to get it ended, too.

Zelensky:

We want peace, Putin does not want.

We need pressure on him.

Trump:

The Middle East is a much more complicated situation than Ukraine.

We made 59 countries agree.

Reporter: You earlier said that Ukraine would be able to take back all the territories they lost? Do you think that is still the case?

Trump: You never know.

Trump:

We need Tomahawks and we need a lot of other weapons that we are sending to Ukraine.

That is one of the reasons we want to end this war.

Trump:

Hopefully, we will be able to end the war without thinking about Tomahawks.

We are fairly close to that.

Trump:

I am interested in Ukrainian drones. They make very good drones.

But there is nothing like the jets.

Trump:

We have B-52s, which are stealth, undetectable.

Trump:

A very nice woman got the Nobel Peace Prize, I don't know who she is but she was very generous.

Trump:

We have never had a President that solved one war.

A lot of them start wars but they don't settle them.

Trump:

I understand that Pakistan attacked Afghanistan, that is an easy one for me to solve.

I love solving wars.

Trump:

Spain has not been loyal to NATO.

I think Spain should be reprimanded.

Trump: A tunnel from Russia to Alaska. What do you think about that?

Zelensky: I am not happy with that.

Trump: I don't think he liked it.

Reporter: Are you not concerned that Putin is trying to buy himself more time?

Trump: I am, I have been played all my life by the best of them. I came out really well. It is possible, little time, it is alright.

Trump:

The Russians would have been in Kyiv very quickly if it was not for the weather and the Javelins.

In war, you have a lot of luck too.

Some brilliant general decided to go through the mud.
