WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is voicing anger at Russian President Vladimir Putin for comments he made about Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In an early Sunday morning phone interview with NBC News, Trump was referencing comments Putin made Friday about temporarily putting Ukraine under external governance. Trump said he was “angry, pissed off” when Putin “started getting into Zelenskyy’s credibility.” Putin repeated his claim that Zelenskyy, whose term expired last year, lacks the legitimacy to sign a peace deal. Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that “if a deal isn’t made, and if I think it was Russia’s fault, I’m going to put secondary sanctions on Russia.”
