President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on his first day in office.

As the 47th president settles into his role at the White House, he was asked about the ongoing war between Russia and the Ukraine.

Trump said: “He’s told me he wants to make a deal, Zelensky wants to make a deal.

“I don't know if Putin does, he should do.

“I think he’s destroying Russia by not making a deal.”

Trump added: “I think Russia is going to be in big trouble.”
