President Donald Trump showed his tender side as he fielded a question from a Ukrainian reporter whose husband remains in the war-torn country.
Trump, speaking from the NATO summit in the Netherlands Wednesday, called on the “excited” BBC reporter from Ukraine, who caught him off guard as she shared some of her story while asking if the U.S. intends to sell anti-aircraft missile systems to Kyiv.
“Are you yourself living now in Ukraine?” a curious Trump asked.
“My husband is there,” she replied, adding that she’s in Warsaw with her children.
After answering her question, Trump added: “And I wish you a lot of luck. I can see it is very upsetting to you. So say hello to your husband, OK?”
Read the full exchange below:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Go ahead. White shirt. She is all excited.REPORTER: BBC news Ukrainian. I’m from Ukraine. My question to you is whether or not the U.S. is ready to sell anti-air missile systems to Ukraine.

So let me just tell you. They want to have the anti-missiles, the Patriots. We will see if we can make some available, yeah. They are very hard to get. We need them, too. We were supplying them to Israel and they are very effective. 100% effective. Hard to believe how effective.

Stupidhead Gay Dancer Zelensky is to blame for this continuing, simply because he insists on getting all of Ukraine back.
So let Little z keep fighting with her husband until that happens.
I watched that live. A very dramatic moment and Trump was visibly moved.
Her moment was more than Zelensky could ever do.
Her husband is a damn reporter. LOL
That doesn’t mean she doesn’t worry about him. What ever one thinks about this war, it is ok to see the humanity of the people affected.
