President Donald Trump touted his peacemaking abilities during a speech to military personnel Tuesday, but said that conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine were still raging despite his administration's mediation.
In a speech before military commanders in Quantico, Virginia, Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President President Volodymyr Zelenskyy need to get together to settle Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Trump also said Hamas has to agree to a U.S.-proposed Gaza peace deal. "Hamas has to agree, and if they don't, it's going to be very tough for them," Trump said.
