I would offer a different perspective or scenario if you like for Trump and his words.
First it was Trump who actually sent weapons to Ukraine. It was Trump who told NATO members to spend what they had agreed to on defense. It was Trump who warned Europe on being dependent on Russia for energy needs.
Trump has his own way of speaking and setting the stage, his 24 hour statement could be read as making ukraine capitulate, or it could mean he will tell putin leave Ukraine or I will get biggly on support
If you mean the word ‘friendly’ I meant Putin wasn’t just being friendly or nice, Putin was afraid of Trump and Trump’s military aggression against Russia and strengthening of the forces against Putin.
